Hi,
Corporate Greed - it's FANTASTIC! Porsche could have labled it a Boxster Coupe, and staying within the Boxster's Price Point, would have probably increased the sum total.
As is, this may imperil the Boxster in future years. I can see Porsche dropping it in favor of a Cayman Cabriolet to increase overall sales and dragging the whole thing upscale $$-wise.
Boxster sales have already been dwindling the past 3 years at least and Porsche's nod to purpetuating the 911 (without the Cab, 911 sales are falling at a rate greater than that of the Boxster) may turn out to be a costly mistake. Is another Ice Age coming for Porsche as Cayenne, 911, and now Boxster sales decline? Only the future knows, but it's all happened before...
Happy Motoring!... Jim'99
