Porsche Survival

[fivepointnine]

disagree about the subaru/scion competing with the Boxster.....those cars are SLOW, the new Boxster is definitely not slow in any sense of the word, plus the build quality of a Porsche is on a whole different level.

that being said when I get back into the country early next year I am considering trading my '02 S in on a new, low optioned base Boxster or a CPO 987

I think they'll do OK. They can survive selling 125 in a normal month of Dec in the US I think they'll make it on 38. This car isn't their big money maker anyway. From what dealers were telling me they couldn't get enough of them in, and when they got an 'S' it sold. A lot of people won't wait for a car to be built and if what they want isn't in the showroom they don't buy. The other thing is I'm guessing a good percentage of folks considering a Boxster as their next purchase are now aware the new 981 is coming this early summer. I'm also guessing (or IMO) most folks who buy Boxsters wouldn't be looking at Scion, at least not for the same reason. I would take both a 987 and a Scion FR-S in my garage, but I would never compare them.
