Oh, stop it. The same thing happened when the 987 came out (and the style argument continues to this day), and while I'm guilty of some of the bashing that has occurred with the 981, I don't 100% dislike the car. Just like the 987 did, it will grow on people and they will come to accept it regardless of whatever misgivings they have.
Unlike the way people treat 914/924/928/944 owners for not having a "true Porsche" or whatever that silliness is, how hypocritical would we be to turn away anyone with
any Boxster? Our car is just as much of a hated-on vehicle for not being a 911 as the others I mentioned are.
I think this being a
community comes first, way before anyone's personal biases toward one car or another.
Oh, and no, 20s won't help you here...I hope you've got a nice pillow for the driver's seat to keep your spine somewhat intact.
Don't go anywhere, eh?
