The only thing I found at Fortune online was this video, which gives some good insight to the original poster's question:

I did find a Forbes article, which says Boxster sales are down 21.5%:

21% is along the lines of the data I have.
Not trying to nit-pick, just trying to verify my data as I have some analysis to complete for the 'real world' and I didn't want to be completely off the mark.
And in answer to the original question, if Porsche likes to keep their margins above 19%, they'll clearly have to do something about the Boxster - Limit production, spice the car up with a limited edition, or drop it from the line. It looks like the first two options is where Porsche is headed for now.
