Maybe you have seen this, and I'm sure I am stepping on someone's copywrited stuff, but courtesy of Dekman...

Imagine if they had used an updated 914/6 like Dekman's

Pretty sure this article is 5-6 months old and was in a European mag if I'm correct?

GT mag is a breath of fresh air. Very nice design, very nice photography and the writers are not scared of upsetting the established views. (even printed on matt paper which is nice)

Today it's 95 degrees and 90% humidity in Chicago, unfortunately an all too common occurance in the summer around here. Give a choice with Chicago traffic, I'd take the AC'd Boxster with a Tiptronic in a moment. Now, a nice sunny summer evening in the Wisconsin countryside, the 914-6 wins in an instant.

The Boxster is competant, but has no soul in my opinion.

The article expresses what I've felt since the Boxster arrived. Porsche is embarrassed by the 914 and 914-6 or they'd have commemoratives citing the similarities in the bloodline.

I love 'em both and leave the garage lites on low at nite hoping they'll mate.

Not bragging here...just fact: I've run against several boxster S's at Laguna Seca and did not have a problem pulling away. Also ran against a Cayman S(tracked w/ instructor driving) at same track ...stayed with him x 5 laps ('till my diff blew).
