ARE YOU KIDING ME???

I still can't believe I let it go and didn't respond.

I wouldn't use "ruined" but the poster was right in the sense that the Boxster -- being a much better bang/$ proposition than the 911 -- uncovered how overpiced the 911 really have been all along.

For instance, today a new 295hp 3.4L mid-engine Box is still about $30k cheaper than an uglier 325hp (?) 3.6L rear-engine 911 convertible, with exactly the same interiors and quality of workmanship -- and that's simply ridiculous.
