I have only just got my Boxster, a 2.5 R reg, Arctic silver, red leather with the sports pack. Compared to other cars I have owned it's pretty slow but it does look good and hopefully won't depreciate like a stone. My last two cars were a Nissan 300zx twin turbo, very very fast and a Fiat Coupe 20V turbo with a £5,000 lightened and balanced engine. I raced a 2001 911 carrera and there was nothing in it. As I have only just brought it im not sure which I prefer yet, i'll let you know.

Subaru Forester XT Luxury
Just rediscovered this thread.
Update from me, I sold the VW Passat and replaced it with a Subuary Forester XT Luxury.
Wife loves the higher driving position and SUV like appearance. My condition for buying it was that we get the XT version with 169 kw/230 bhp turbo engine.
It's quicker off the lights than my 98 Boxster (0-60mph in 6 seconds man, 7.2 in the auto), and very comfortable, but doesn't come close to the Box around any corner or the brakes. In fact, when we first got it I thought there was something wrong with the brakes. We are spoilt by Porsche and their penchant for big disks and calipers. Subaru should offer the STI brake package for the Forester.

2006 Chevy Equinox, which is actually a decent little ride (surprisingly). I love it, because it is a company car and that allows me to have the Boxster! You can't beat (almost) free gas, mileage, and maintenance! Allows me to take road trips without worrying about gas and putting miles on my car.

I also understand these nut cakes are pasting Global Warming  stickers on Hummers, SUVs etc.
Just a word to the wise.
I think your Hummer looks cool!

There must have been another thread like this a while back but my other car is a truck...
04' Land Rover Discovery, last of the really capable right out of the box, mechanical CDL trucks available from Land Rover here in the US before going the high tech, high price point direction with the LR3 and Range Rover Sport. A little rough around the edges but I love it for the mundane daily driving along with the little dirty work when I want to have some fun off the pavement.
