Most people who say this have never driven a 996. Porsche has sold a TON of these cars for a reason - they are good performers and relatively good looking cars (not weird looking like a Z4 or Lotus Elise). Porsche has had great commercial success with both the Boxster and the 996 - I do not think that they will become the red herrings in the near future - in fact, I think that the Boxsters will be *the* DIY car in the near future. Fun, quick, easy to upgrade (install a 911 engine), and now, cheap!
