have talked about how the 981 is a step in the wrong direction and is bloated, GT, too complex, etc...it hasn't even hit the streets yet....let me remind you "YOU HAVE NEVER DRIVEN ONE" so how can you assume so confidently how it is going to be a failure and pail in comparison to the 986. As far as the baby boxster....I think it has the possiblity to be an amazing car....probably more like the "pure drivers porsches" of years past that everyone complains are gone than anything they have built in quite a while. If they sell well and you see one every day on your way to work does it really diminish the driving enjoyment you get from your car, or does it really just make you seem a little more ordinary as you are only driving a 986. Bring on the baby boxster!
