you know while your here I just want to make a general observation about car magazine writers.
Why is it that every write up about a new model or a comparo starts off with some anecdote to draw an analogy to what you are about to write about?
Throw the DRIVERS a bone and just say today we got the car and drove the wheels off it. Tell us things that people not working for a car magazine would never know about. More facts, more references to similar cars and how they stack up and less mumbo jumbo fancy tawk (in jersey accent).

interesting that many 996 owners look down on the Boxster. The Boxster is the roadster of the Porsche brand and the benchmark for the industry, if the 2000 and the BoxsterS were sold at the same price Honda would have something to deal with for sure. I know which I would choose! I think allot of those 996/997 owners who do look down on the "entry level" Porsche (a ridiculous term for many reasons) forget or simply don't know that the '93 Boxster Concept Car was in many ways the precursor to the 996. Europe was driving what would be the successor to the 993, certainly in terms of interior styling and the all important front end exterior look, in the form of the Boxster some three years before the 996 911 was actually sold in the U.S. From the seats forward there wasn't too much surprise of what the 911 would look like when it finally arrived in 1999.
