still don't get why Boxsters drop in value so fast

Automobile magazine (Boxster cover) has an even better line that will definitely affect this resale question when it comes to convertible vs convertible:

Our loaded Boxster S still cost some $36K less than a comparably equipped 911 Cabriolet...the difference in performance between the 315 HP Boxster and the 350 HP Carrera is marginal and the cheaper car offers advantages...For a start, the engines make the same beautiful noise and combine telepathic throttle response with linear power delivery. Both cars can be mated to one of the best automatic gearboxes. The 911 doesnt' turn in quiet as rapidly as the Boxster, is trickier when you choose to deactivate all the electronic safety aids and not quiet as firmly planted in a straight line. In other words, the Boxster S is the more grown up, more complete car.
