If anything, it's a positive sign for the Boxster's continued production.
Who cares about continued production? People are in love with their car, they're not in love with Porsche. Well, generally.

I can fully understand. Now, if I'd bought my car in 2003 it probably wouldn't bother me--that's a reasonable time period for which to change a car. The switch from 986 to 987 wouldn't have been so exciting either because you would've known that a new one was on the way as it was in the mags for ages and all the dealers were discounting the 2004's so heavily and the model was DEFINITELY due for a refresh.

But no other manufacturer that I know of charges their customers so much and then changes their offerings so quickly on them.

Imagine if you'd bought a 2006 this month. How would you feel now?
