A Real Boxster Insult
 

The Poor Man's Porsche/Not A Real Porsche stuff doesn't bother me.

But calling the Boxster "cute"?!?!?! Now that's a real insult :barf:

Other than that, not a bad review though:

Thats because hes gay. :D im going to get blasted for saying that

That guy is very hatable, but I love the Guards Red/tan interior combo! It has kind of a Ferrari look to it.

I'm with blkboxster, but it's still a good review.

I don't know, 'Cute' doesn't bother me.. When a guy in a V6 Mustang rolls his window down to say I don't have a real Porsche, THAT makes hammer angry!

hey..if this cute car can help me pick up some hot chick....I have no problem :D j/k

Funny thread... a gal who works at my insurance agency came outside to inspect my 987S... she said "what a cute car... oh, is it a bad thing to call it cute?"

I said, "It's OK if girls call it cute, but if a guy says that those would be considered fighting words."

She really dug the car, which is interesting because they see so many cars come in and out. She said that the inspection requires a test drive. Hmmm... I don't think that was flirting. I think she just likes the car. :cool:

Over the summer I had a class with an easy on the eye lady that needed a ride home after class...

she saw my car and instantly said, I love it! Its soooo cute!

and I forgave her :D

Lol lets hope your wife does not see this post :D

You meant "light-hearted and happy" right?

My mother always told me to consider the source :D

LOL. "Not that there's anything wrong with that"!

took the words right out of my mouth :D

Good one, Bruce :D :D :D

@blk...lets just hope not coz' the key might be taken away :eek:

Did Mr. Gay put a lipstick filter on the lens to get that "pink" effect on the Guards Red car?
Looks to me he worked hard to make it "cute."
I'll strap him in the passenger seat of my '06 S and have him crying like a little girl. :cheers:

What's with that guys hair?

what wrong with that guy in general

:cheers: .

Oh gosh here we go again. :confused:

I will take my 'cute' car over 99.999% of other cars on the road.

Anyone making the cute, or any other derogatory comments about Boxsters simply have no idea what they are or why the extreme low polar moment chassis is so far superior to any other production sports car. Maybe the two most under-rated sports cars of all time are the 914/6 and the Boxster.

thats a very true statement, the boxster is very under rated.

Anyone who's ever driven one, the motoring press included, knows how good the Boxes are. As for the opinions of the rest of the great unwashed masses, who gives a rat's ass? No one I know has ever called my car cute. Smatter of fact, my very rich car collecting buddy said another friend's M4 coupe is "a girl's car compared to the Boxster". Nuff said.

I don't know... I am TOOO used to hearing people calling my ride is cute.

Now I'm not sure as my hearing is rubbish but I'm think he calls the coolant tank cap in the trunk the fuel filler. And I also agree that he's a bit of shirt lifter.

I think my A-hole detector just went off. A Mustang Sally calling your car not 'real', again consider the source. (with apologies to Baby Aikido).

Whoa, hey guys, didn't mean to rile everyone up. I think the reviewer meant it as a positive when he called the boxster cute. I was simply playing up the irony that "cute" sounds more like an insult to me :D

But if you watch the video, you'll see nothing is insulting to the boxster. In fact the review is overwhelmingly positive (as all boxster reviews tend to be).

You heard right. I was left wondering if porsche moved things around on non-US models. And I agree with all that you said ;)

I don't mind hearing him call it "cute," but then I am a girl. ;)

You know, I watched the video and thought he did an excellent job overall. Give him a German accent and I'd swear he was a Porsche factory representative!

My only beef was that he said that Porsche "stuffed" the 3.4 from the Cayman S in the new Boxster S... everyone knows there's no stuffing involved as the cars are virtually identical sans the hard top. But it makes for a good car review I guess.

And one last comment... he seems like a sensitive soul, but didn't strike me as light in the loafers... just Canadian (and I do not mean that in a mean-spirited way... he just doesn't have the farmer-bred, Southern drawl I'm used to hearing around here).

Oh God, here come the Canadians! :D

Fear the spear, ********************es. Fear the spear

oh oh......I can already see the illiterate death threats coming. :)

I just knew someone was going to take that out of context!

Most of the Canadians who come to my area are from Quebec area. I call them tadpoles - baby frogs.

Lets leave the Canadians alone. They are good guys. :)

Had some guy in a Vette a couple of months back pull beside me at a light. He had his hair combed over the bald head and his hotter than he deserved girlfriend in the car.

His windows were down as was my top. He looked over and said "nice girls car".

Only thing I could think to say was "Yeah, I was going to buy a Vette but they said my d*** was too long"

He was not happy but his girlfriend sure thought it was funny!

hahaha..nicely done tah! lol

Can I steal this quote? It's brilliant! Living outside of town in Austin, TX, practically in the country, sport cars are a rarity and most of what you'll find are Vettes, Trans Ams and Camaros (if you can really count the latter two as sport cars). I respect the vette for it's performance but I'll never forget my brother referring to it as the "Rich Man's Camaro". It does have a bit of that cheapo Pontiac styling to it that screams "redneck at the wheel". Where I live though it's usually the guys in the F150s with a lift kit that want to race or give me ********************. But for every negative reaction I get in regards to my Boxster I get 20 more saying "nice car!" or "sweet ride!".

How is making fun of cars like Vettes, ZX350s, S2000s and the like any different than folks calling our cars, GIRL CARS?

They make many sports cars precisely because we have many different tastes.

These threads always make me wonder!

I can appreciate what these other cars offer without having to become defensive about what I drive.

Hey, no one's paying my bills for me so their opinion about what I drive is not important, no?

:confused:

^ I agree. But I think there is a difference between initiating the negative comments (bad), and retaliating to a negative comment with a spot on remark that leaves the jerk bad mouthing your car speechless (good). :D

I don't have any issue with anyone bad mouthing my car. I am secure enough to understand that I like my car and the other person doesn't. Any comment he makes is about his own insecutity, not my car.

How can that upset. me I don't even know this guy? How could his opinion have any weight with me?
