SLK.
Because a boxster is the cheapest way to porsche ownership.
While an SLK means choosing one of the top-tiered model out of the entire mercedes lineup.

hard choice to make, lol

Sorry, but I'm not into those cars.

Not really lar..
If you look carefully,
SLK is only like middle-classed.
The top sports range will be a CL-model or an SL-model..
Those will cost you around 300 - 600k, while an SLK cost you about 180 - 240k..

I believe Boxster S insurance and FC is higher..
Though i believe if you can afford either cars, petrol is not a problem....
HAHAHA

Whereas the Boxster IS cheaper than the Cayman, 911, etc.

True true, but my point is, let's say you take all the mercedes cars there is and line them up in order of cheapest to most expensive, the SLK will not be the cheapest...
Whereas if you do the same for porsches, the Boxster sits right at the start of the 'cheapest'..
However, in all fairness, I have to disclaim that cheapest is relative, both are still much more expensive than, say, Japanese cars..

Ya..
Why not go for Japanese cars? Lower depreciation compared to continental ones.. and you can still have the "head-turner" attention..
Something like:
1. Daihatsu Copen (Cheap and good)
2. S2000 (buy soon, stop production liao)
3. Civic Type-R (Euro / Japanese Model)
4. Subaru WRX STI (ah beng car)
5. Lancer Evo X (high class ah beng car)
6. Mazda RX 8 (quite a nice car)
7. Nissan GTR 35 (EXPENSIVE!)

Boxster S will be a good choice.

SLK 55, sure not slow..
Plus, the AMG kit looks good, too. -

I believe rich people wouldn't care on all these aspects. They are rich to begin with.

No.. you're a high class ah beng.
Personally, I'll take the X over the STi.

HAHA!!!
The current Impreza range looks so tame and disappointing... Lacks the sporty, aggressive look of the predecessor. I hardly see any new Imprezas on the roads. Even if there is, it's modified.... lol...

I think the new STI hatchback's quad-exhaust is overdone. Not every car can pull off a 'BMW M or a Merc AMG style' by just adding quad tipped exhausts.
Compared to the last generation of the Subaru WRX, the sales of the current generation's WRX really really pales in comparison.
And we have successfully hijacked and OT-ed another thread - time to move this to Cars Crapbox..

Oops.... paiseh paiseh... lol... blame the hot weather. Haha....
At least we give TS more options to ponder about... haha....

Personally will not touch these 2 cars currently. Both are fairly old models. Boxster just doesn't look right to me, while the SLK doesn't float my boat. If I had the kind of money to afford the Boxster, it would be the Cayman for me, or if it has to be a convertible, the BMW 335 Cabrio.

One more that can consider,the Nissan 370z.

yeah.. I forgot to add that in.. The cheaper alternative to GTR
:D

i think i would choose the Boxster S , new revise engine and a option for the PDK. It also looks good and more beautiful then SLK . But price wise , nothing to say.

Neither - they both fall into the "hey, my sister drives one of those" class.
