If potential buyers can choose between a new Z2 and a used Boxster, than there is competition, which decreses value.

I know Bruce, I am a sucker for the Miata....and mtch....the point is taken, but I don't think it concerns porsche. I mean the value of your used car is your concern. So the mindset is if someone is in the market for a porsche, they are buying a porsche...and if the demand is less and it means less on the road then better for me because I'll draw that many more looks. This argument can be made for just about ANY car. Especially if you are worried about a 99 or 2000 model, generally newer cars have more features, more power, more desirable traits. Previous models suffer, that's just common sense. I mean is porsche to dump more powerful engines in the cars of everyone who bought a used boxster so they can have a better value?
So if you are going to make an investment into a vehicle, make sure you get it how you want and its exactly what you want because to argue that a car is a good investment that holds it value, well we should all know better by now.
