I see both sides here, if Honda can put a torsen in the Civic Si and keep the price down, Porsche should be able to do the same thing. I know, economy of scale and all that, but the numbers of 986 produced is quite large and the Si was a small fraction of Civic sales.
Probably makes more difference on a FWD car with its inherent traction issues, but it makes a big difference to me- I used to daily a Fit with mild suspension upgrades, and even with far better tires than stock and quite low power, it really could have used one.
Mind you, I'm not claiming to be an exceptional driver, and I haven't suffered any serious lack of grip in the Boxster. Just that with everything else on the car at the level it is, it seems like an obvious omission.
