Porsche's marketing people really need to give it a rest. It's gone from funny to embarrassing IMO.

it's only sad if you buy a car for status. if you're happy when you bought the car, what does it matter?

i actually like the idea of all these variants - a secret code for porsche enthusiasts - everyone gets something a little bit different. not everyone is for me (i would never buy this one) but i like there are 50 different kinds of 997s out there, and the general public all think they are "boxsters"
