Oh I definitely disagree with your take there. That's a safety issue and they're a sports car company. If their hail mary design intended to save them from bankruptcy turned out to be dangerous they're goose would have been cooked for sure. Also, the Boxster is a superb handling car that has set the bar in class since day one. Lucking into well-engineered downforce was not a coincidence or afterthought.
