The Couple looks incredible! It's nice and roomy and will have that same exhaust note you love. Personally, I'm not a big convertible fan (my Boxster's hardtop stays on at least 80% of the year and I'm in Texas).

I know you're up north so AWD is appealing, but Audis get boring to me really fast. I don't think I'm alone in this. The formula for the TT is there, but it's just not up there in rank with the BMWs & Porsches.

I'm a bit Porsche biased so I would say go with the Boxster S, I think you may be disappointed with the power on the Base Boxster.

Just another consideration, the 05 Boxster S is almost identical to the 06 and you can get a low mileage one at a very good price. You can pick one up in the low 40's. I'm being a bit self serving here since I plan to sell mine in the Spring.

All of these choices are nice cars though, so I think you will be happy.
