Coming from owning a 914 'four', 'not a pure Porsche' argument does not bother me one bit... 986 has a Porsche flat 6 and front body identical to 911/ 996!

I love 911's and all other P-cars, but when it comes to cornering stability, the mid engine cars are simply superior, period! And when you can not afford buying or daily driving 550, 718, 904 or even 914-6, Boxster (OK and Cayman) just makes perfect sense!

By the way, the iconic 550, our grandfather, was not named 'little bastard' for nothing!

And our car saved Porsche from bankruptcy too!

People calling Boxsters not pure Porsche or hairdresser's cars do not know the whole heritage and history of Porsche.
