    Thanks for posting. Apart from the 4.0l engine, I don’t see much here that would get me excited about paying a premium. The gold styling bits and wheels … not sure.

    That said, I think Jay’s right that if Porsche had been founded with a clean sheet of paper the mid-engined layout probably would have been the direction chosen.

    I know… Porsche clearly gets the model longevity award.

    My profile shows my Porsche history. My 2008 Boxster RS60 is probably the most engaging and satisfying dollar for dollar. The build quality, while very good, can’t compare with the 911s that I’ve owned, from SWB up through Carrera 3.2 The aural experience is almost as good as an air cooled 6. I think it’s probably true that Porsche could easily engineer the Boxster platform to out perform the 911 in every category.
