Wait for 2009 or get the 2008?

Get the 2008 (you already have it on order). Enjoy the car. Even if you wait for the changes in 2009, there will be more changes in 2010, and so on........ You will never catch up, and therefore, never realize your dream of owning a Porsche.

Good advice here. I agree with Soetekouw.

I ordered my 2006 in August of 2005. I took delivery in March of last year. A few months later the 2007's came out with 15 more HP. Would I have liked to had 15 more ponnies for bragging rites...sure. Would I have been willing to wait a whole additional year...now way. I waited long enough.

Thank you for the posts. I had a 2006 987 S, and regret to this day ever selling it. In my mind, there was nothing lacking with the car and it had more than enough power. I know for certain that I like the styling and packaging of the current Boxster, and yes the '09 will be .2 to .4 seconds quicker to 60 mph, the '10 will be faster yet, and of course there will be the completely new 988 in 2013. Imagine if Porsche does the same as they did with the Cayenne S. They came out with 385 hp Cayenne S earlier this year, and have recently annonced the more powerful GTS. Quite frankly, if I wanted the fastest car, I would buy a Z06 Vette for the same price as a well equiped Boxster S, or I would have kept my '06 Lotus Elise (felt like a kit-car compared to a Porsche). Quite frankly, I am going to wait until I can see some actual pictures of the '09 to reserve judgment, and am dissapointed that nothing came out of the Frankfurt Show. If all of this means that I am .2 to .4 seconds slower to 60 mph, oh well.
