And not 944 either. Also not a 917.

What it is, is...the best top down choice that Porsche offers with a conventional engine.
Unless you like your Porsches to look like a bathtub with a big butt like the Cabriolet.

This whole "it's not a 911" thing is nothing more than clever marketing spin that a big part of the public bought into.
Somehow I was immune to it from the get go because I seem to be among the Boxster owners who "voluntarily" (LOL) picked mid-engine roadster over rear-engined Grand Touring.

Wait I do suffer from something similar. I'm a hypocrite!!
When I see a Carrera with the street engine, I think "too bad its not a Mezger". LOL.
Damn those Porsche marketing guys... They got me too!!
