Well, if it were a Cayman, it would be like :
I've got a Cayman.
Oh, one of those big 4X4s.
No, that's the Cayenne
So, it's a smaller 4X4?
No, that's the Macan.
See, it's really a Coxster: a Boxster with a roof!
-oh, I see...

I like Boxster just fine. Anyway, if others have trouble with it, it's due to their ignorance .

Hahahaha. This had me cracking up. I almost had that exact conversation with a friend when telling them I'd like a Cayman.

I like the "Boxster" name. Using the number is fine - but can add even more confusion....986? 986.2? 987 987.2 981 9??

If they had kept the numbers consistent - like the 911 and other models.

At least the Boxster name links them all together.
