Porsche does own the Boxster name. Back in 1998 they went after about 30 sites using the name - my friend had myboxster.com in 1998 and changed it. The UK board that started about 2 years was Boxster.net and now it is Boxa.net. But Porsche can do nothing about 986.
They do this, so they say, or it can become a generic term like xerox - a name IBM can no longer protect.
