Exactly. Next thing you know we'll have people in here talking about how crappy Miatas are!

*For the money* the MR-2 and Miata are incredible machines. Don't know about the Solstice yet, but time will tell.

That reminds me about what people say about the Carrera GT.

Its funny to hear you all think of the solstice as a chick car--what do you all think the Boxster is? Everyone tells me my Boxster is a chick car. I know you all hear the same thing - you know you are lying if you say otherwise. I seriously doubt anyone on this forum that owns a Boxster is taller than 6 foot and weighs more than 180. If you are any bigger you would not fit in the car and if you tried you would look like you were wearing the car.

They did a whole show on "two and a half men" recently with the Boxster as a chick car being the punch line.

Hmmmmmmm!

Football player....6'2" 220 lbs... I sit with the seat all the way back and my shoulders barely clear the doors. I fit quite well in the cockpit.

Although I find the design of the latest MR2 less than masculine... the original MR2 was my first car and a blast to drive and own. I tell people the Boxster is like a "grown-up" version of my old MR2. Which isn't too far from true.

Thirty years from now I hope I'll be fortunate enough to have a pristine, fully restored first generation MR2 parked beside my daily driver Porsche.

I can't imagine an inexpensive car brought out by a marginal, GM sub-brand being a threat to anything except the maker (perhaps Mazda) of another inexpensive car?!

I don't understand the defensiveness...

I'm 6'4" and the Boxster fits well enough. Want small and cramped? Try a Crossfire.

Amen lemonjello.

I have a friend that is 6'6" 300+ lbs and seems comfortable enough when he rides in the passenger seat. I'm 6'1" and fit like a glove with plenty room to spare...

Not quite wearing the car...
