Here's my problem with the 911 and Porsche in general. I don't like the 911. A car with its engine hanging out the back is not my cup of tea. I don't care about its heritage. BFD. Now, what I do like are mid-engined cars. So what's the problem? I want a faster mid-engined car!

The logical upgrade for me is NOT a 911. It's a Boxster-type car with more power. But everybody thinks that you buy an "entry" into the Porsche world thru the Boxster and "upgrade" to the 911. This makes no sense. The cars are fundamentally different.

Look at the Cayenne. There's the lowly 6 cylinder, the V8, and the ludicrous-speed Turbo. Would you tell a V6 Cayenne owner to "upgrade" to a 911? Of course not. Totally different car. Well, same goes for the Boxster.

Why doesn't the Boxster have the same power upgrade path that is present in the 911 and the Cayenne (which BTW, is a friggen SUV for crying out loud).

Not that I really care. I'm enjoying my Boxster at the moment. But from what I can see, my next car won't be a Porsche.
