Only thing is, the boxster isn't old porsche but it also is not new porsche. We are at a turning age again, go on an lump the SUVs and panamera in with new porsche. Middle Is the 9x6 9x7 and depending on your fancy the 9x1 cars. The 9x1 cars are changing though, of course still getting much faster, but imagine how someone would have felt if he test drove a 996 in 2000 and it turned itself off at each red light.
The next generation of porsche sports cars will likely have 4 cylinder options at the least, turbo is going to quickly just be a trim level of a full line of turbocharged cars, and porsches are gradually becoming luxury cars with a spotty edge.
Now are any of the porshes, new, old, or middle bad? I think they all have redeeming qualities, but it'll be very interesting to see where new Porsche goes, the 918 makes me excited to find out.
