Did we forget to wish the Boxster a happy 20th birthday?

EPA testing is really not such a big deal for a small boutique brand like Porsche. The four door cars do all the heavy lifting sales wise. If the two doors fell below market standards on MPG there would be more consequences from fu fu Starbucks buyers regarding it as a gas hog than any substantial EPA penalties for the most profitable car company around. People bring up CAFE standards as if buyers aren't demanding greater fuel economy these days. Not so much because they consider gas to be expensive, certainly not if they can afford German luxury brands, but more because the educated wealthy expect more advanced engineering. And as far as the car companies themselves....Everything has become a stats game. They want to be the best at everything: power, safety, mpg, reliability, resale. Selling sports cars that only get 11 mpg is history. The car market today is very competitive. Tesla just entered the sedan market and luxury brands already feel a need to respond to their sales growth. 20 years ago they would have ignored Tesla completely.
