So for a substantial saving over the 911 you could buy a very similar product. Now they are fundamentally different, and I fear the boxster may be stigmatized. A Poorsche, if you will.
In what month did the 718 boxster go on sale? Are significant numbers of those early months' sales of prior year models? I have to assume that at least some are

Stigmatized? A fully kitted out Boxster is still going to cost over $100K....that's not a poor man's car. And while yes, you can certainly get one cheaper if you drop some of the bells and whistles, it still ain't cheap. And remember - the Cayman, possibly Porsche's best sports car, is even cheaper than the Boxster.
