US press launch took place in Scottsdale, Arizona, on September 10th 1996.

Interesting that it was launched in Scottsdale. At the time it was the only dealer in Phoenix and one of two in all of Arizona. Until very recently the Phoenix area only had one dealer. Now there are two with the opening of the Chandler dealership. Strange for a market with a population of 4 million.

The Boxster's birthday did seem to go unnoticed. Kind of a bummer considering how important it was to Porsche survival.
