I bought my Boxster for its fabulous handling, comfort, great engineering integrity, ease of ownership & great fuel economy.

I only need to service it every 2 yrs or 20k miles unlike my Honda which needs an oil change every 5000km's!

The Porsche badge is a bonus (and sometimes a hindrance!) not a prerequisite.

^^I think about how hard that V10 would pull when I'm driving my car. The car has to top the GTR's best specs. 3.3sec to 60mph and 11.7 in the quarter. I have a feeling HONDA will carry this one out to a T. I just hope they are careful with the styling. These new Acura's are absolutely hideous.

Honda claims it wont weigh more than a 135i. (3300lb) :wink: Couple that with 600hp 450lb tq. HOT DAMN.

the most noted excuse for buying a boxter is "i got it for my wife"... i have heard this on forums, news, in person, etc... the 987 is much better than the 986, however i think i'd have a AP2 over it any day...

also, i didn't know you only had to service it every 20k miles.. thats crazy! :biggrin:

I tried AP2 but it didn't feel special to me until you really went for it. Also the price put me off a little bit ($53k CND for the one I looked at).

Subjective, but I don't find it as nice to look at as a Boxster.

Also looked at Lotus Elise. Was amazingly fast & fun but the build quality, fit & finish made it feel like I was paying $70k to help Lotus with their R&D!
