I'm not trying to defend the ad, I just liked it, it was funny....

To your point... What other car ever made by Porsche resembled the 550 more than a boxster ? Sure it's heavier, but hell, it looks more like one than a 997 does... All Porsches are heavier, tell me a 997 is not heavier than a 901! If they want to use this link for advertising, why the hell not? Like I said, it's no skin off my back, I am just saying the boxster is often criticized by people who never drove one, on account of having been too popular. The fact is it's a great car to drive and with a similar engine to a 996/997 it will bury both with superior handling ! I think the Cayman protos are already faster around the 'ring than a 997...

I just loved getting into "not a real Porsche" discussions with the sectarian 911 people when I had my Boxster, because I could usually turn right back at them and tell them their 911 was a fat pig of a car compared to my other (and only "Real") porsche, a 57 356 ;-) Of course I was just being facetious as I love all 356 & 911s (except the 964) and currently drive a 73.5 T !
