So why a Boxster?

2. I'm really surprised that some of you have had such negative eperiences with the Solstice. I never drove one, but I did look at them. In terms of panel fit, and other visible indicators of quality, they're in a whole different universe than the bad old Pontiacs. I'm no fan of 4 cylinder buzziness (which is why I'm selling the S2000 a little later in the spring), but by all accounts they don't perform that badly, esp. the supercharged one. I think they look pretty good really, with none of the typical Pontiac scoops and geegaws. Useless trunk though.

Not a negative experience. I enjoyed the car. Just wanted something more. And the GXP is a $5-7K lift in price over the Base. Even a good Turbo or SC setup will run you at least $4K but more typically $5K. I thought why throw that money into a Solstice when I could have a Boxster that really has what I'm looking for.
