i dont like boxsters full stopOriginally posted by hal:nicely asked question. well ... wat is so special about ferrari, lambo, RR n many others? u bet me. its obviously an individual's choice to purchase any automobile they like. its their money and they can spend it as they wish.
everything in the world is about MONEY. y does branded stuff exist? because they cost more and ppl tend to view it as a sign of upper class status. y would Porche came out with the Cayanne SUV model? because the american loves SUV and is willing to pay for it. wat's with the Boxter? because Porche wants to hit the market for the mid-range customers to provide them a less agrressive Porche.
STYLE and GLAMOUR cant get u survive. MONEY DOES !!!
and these so called 'CHEAPO' Porche doesnt come any cheap. Neither does the design, engineering to the manufacturing comes any easy. how many hardship to overcome before a prototype is created. so please dont criticize or give them a nasty face because they are owning a Boxter and not a GT3.
by the way, i notice a lot of Boxter are driven by ladies. Boxter can be considered an aggresive enough automobile for a lady driver. Maybe Porche tends to hit the market of the ladies with its Boxter. i dont know. i can too be wrong. -
like what JC said..boxters are for ppl who cant afford a 911 but still wanna get a porSche

Exactly..a very cheap way to get a Porsche..but oh well, the badge is still on the bonnet and people still think it's cool and exotic..Originally posted by MARK1992:like what JC said..boxters are for ppl who cant afford a 911 but still wanna get a porSche
But I can't be commenting too much since I can't even afford a Boxster.. -
it's all about self-motivation.
when u finally can afford a boxster yourself, you will know you just want more of it. where got fun if you can afford the best exp exotic car right in the beginning? -

i doubt some people can even afford a set of sports rim from porsche.
it may be common or cheap, but it's still a porsche and you only can only smell its smookkkeeeee from 0-100 at any time at any day.
have you even sat inside a porsche? in this lifetime, you ass may never even smell the leather seats of a boxster. -
The most expensive car I ever sat and had a ride in is the previous generation Merc S320 and current generation BMW 740Li..Both more expensive than the Boxster..Originally posted by tpkw:i doubt some people can even afford a set of sports rim from porsche.

The S320 had SUPERB ride..really gives an impression of a magic carpet..it will suit Aladdin fine..but engine not exactly very powerful when considering it's a 3.2-litre V6..
The BMW 740Li has a slightly firmer ride but still supple enough..but maybe not enough for people who wants ultimate comfort..it's firmer because, no matter what, it has to be involving to drive to be called a BMW..but it's 4.0-litre V8 engine is POWERFUL! Just a slight squeeze of the throttle from standstill and it left all the other cars behind.. -

omg, most of u muz be some teenage punks... juz because Lambo and Ferrari look like supercar and porsche like 'froggy', so Porsche sux or wadeva...
Porsche is known to be the true 'driver's car' and their lap times from all over shows the true engineering that went into the car.
Buying boxster means too cheapo to buy 911 turbo or gt3? C'mon, that's sibei childish mentality. Of course, there r ppl who die-die just want to have a porsche, but like above poster says, a lot are gals and they dun need so much power but just a branded and zippy car.
Boxster tuned up can be a force to be reckoned with oso. Not everyone is filthy rich.. mebe he can afford $220k but not $400k car... (tat's bloody $180k diff folks).. fair enough. For $220k he rather not drive some Merc E or some Audi... so buy Porsche boxster la. Considered a true sports car brand.. looks not bad... top quality, great handling...
When u can't afford it, talk is big la...
Idiot 1 : "Knn! boxster wtf? I rather get LP640."
Idiot 2 : "LP640? Lam pa 640 la.. will be smoked by my Reventon..."
But end up, they r driving some wiralution.
Although many of us like jap tiong chias and very high end euro supercar, but if u can really afford or get a chance to try a boxster, its pretty nice for a change.
Mebe not for young punk age group la.. stick to WRX or wadeva.. but when u all older n juz want a nice Euro executive ride wif sportiness, u'll realize its hard to beat the boxster in tat price range. -
The truth is, the first Porsche Boxster was created to save Porsche from the red ink..so it WAS meant to be a "cheap" car in Porsche's own eyes..and because it was so freakin' successful, they went on to produce the new model and improved it..the current Boxster now is great I have to say..Originally posted by guitarman1:omg, most of u muz be some teenage punks... juz because Lambo and Ferrari look like supercar and porsche like 'froggy', so Porsche sux or wadeva...

But in Singapore, if you have the money, why don't drive a better car? I have seen women driving 911 Carreras and not Boxster..MOST Singaporeans like to show off, period. No money, die die must show off..So when $250,000 can get him/her a rather high-end continental saloon (like the 730Li) already, he/she don't want..must go buy the "cheapest" car in Porsche's range..You might have owned a Porsche, but people who knows about cars will be thinking: "Cheapest way into Porsche ownership.."
I'm sorry to say this, but this is what most Singaporeans will think when they see someone driving a Boxster..Maybe not in other countries..but that's the way it is in Singapore..
First problem: 911..their 911 is one of their problems..Porsche has to use the 911 to spawn a lot of other models like the Carrera S, Carrera 4S, Turbo, GT2, GT3, GT3 RS, Targa..no doubt all drive with a different feel more or less, but ALL these models came from the 911..this makes their 911 looks like just a car with different engine variants..like Merc's S-Class..S300, S350, S500, S63 AMG, S65 AMG..
Now coming to the bane of Porsche's line-up..it's not that their cars ain't well engineered..far from it..their cars are well-known for having very fine handling..the biggest problem is they have rather cheap models which quite a lot of people can afford (e.g Boxster, Cayenne) and very very expensive ones like the GT2/3, Turbo and Carrera GT..this makes their cars very common on the roads..so it's exotic-ness has been diluted somewhat..this is the way it is..it's either you choose exclusivity and high profit but low sales, or boost your sales and lose some of your exclusivity and yet have high profits too..Porsche chose to dilute their car's exotic-ness in exchange for sales volume..They are doing it very successfully though..But in my eyes, at least, Porsche cannot be considered a supercar producing company..it can only be considered as a marque that produces high-end, high-performance cars..Porsche can't be placed in equal respect to, lets say, Lamborghini or Ferrari.. -
Lambo n Ferrari oso realising exoticness cant make money... so churning out more sales even tho they quoted a lower number. Another Raffles Town Club overselling scam!!
They dun sell anything less than $600k, of course its more exclusive la.. diff biz model...precisely tis exclusiveness caused lambo to go under.. can't make $ at all... then kena bot over by VW group..
Ferrari is e only miracle supercar company tat can sustain exclusivity n still go strong.. mebe cuz of strong heritage, F1 and branding...
Anyhow, not all 318 are M3 wannabes and boxster are GT2/3 wannabes.. I personally wun by 730 oso.. so big n fat, and heavy.. underpowered for 7 series... ppl see also tink i am 750 wannabe...
i rather get a sporty car from a true sports car brand. Altho in reality, i will still pick jap car anyway. lao beng
