Funny thing, the Camry is just a quick as our cars but not nearly as much fun.

Depends on what you mean by "quick". 0-60 times? The Boxster is faster by about 2 seconds, is much faster when emergency acceleration is needed (or simply passing a slow poke on the road) and then yes, way way more fun.
Probably not as good on gas though.
This is of course assuming the Camry is a 6 cylinder vs. the 4 cylinder.

Don't get me wrong - I like the camry as a nice, family sedan with decent get-up....but it's no Boxster.

When the transmission shifts at 1.5k rpm the Camry feels much slower.

Actually really missing the added control of a manual transmission, the Camry may have a manual mode but it's miles slower then a tiptronic so why bother.

Not a bad car, but night and day with the boxster.
