The Boxster IS the poor stepchild of Porsche because it always gets the short end of the stick. Where is the 3.4 or 3.6 model? Where is the Turbo model? Where is the GT-3 model? The Boxster is looked down on by people because Porsche looks down on it.

And as long as I'm ranting, Porsche started it all with the cutesy name: boxer engine + roadster = Boxster; Oh how clever! WTF? Right then and there the car was branded not to be taken seriously.

In Porsche-think, if you want a serious entry-level sports car, you buy a Cayman, a car with a rightful sports car name. Do you think for a minute that Porsche ever considered calling it the Coupster? Heck no!
