I never thought of the Boxster as a "bargain" porsche. That was the 914.

I was not arguing the Boxster being a turning point. It was obvious by the hype that it would be a big thing for Porsche. I think they call that hitting the nail on the head. The Cayman has not had the same emotional impact on the general public. As said above though, the Cayman seems to be targeted at those wanting a hard top go-kart roadster. Mazda had a MX5 coupe at an autoshow..for similar reasons.

There was a Solstice with a hard top and 500hp for Rhys Millen to drive in Autoweek last week. All the racers want hardtops.
