I agree take the engines out and teh BMW and Mercs are no match for the Porsche on similar power. But really there is NO REASON why Porsche shouldn't at least give the buyer a extra couple of check boxes:

2.7
3.2
3.4
3.8
Turbo

I mean seriously if you are going to charge $70,00 large for a car with barely 300HP at least give us some options!

You know if this were the early 90's when at one point Porsche sold fewer than 1,000 911's in North America we'd see that check box for sure.
With a slowing economy, rising interest rates and introduction of the Cayman and the option of a Cayman engine in the Boxster, I think things may force Porsche to stop being so sure of themselves and start offering choices.
