nope. not what i meant. thought that was pretty obvious. "less performance-driven" doesn't mean "not performance-driven".
98coupev6 reiterated and clarified my point pretty well.. the s2000 is supposed to be a really bare bones enthusiast's car. sure you can get a boxster with absolutely no options added on, but like 98coupev6 said, honda took a different approach with the s2000. they don't want it to be anything more than a pure performance car. it has almost no options available, whereas porsche gives you the option of making it more of a luxury performance car. you can get the boxster with an automatic, etc, and personally i think the interior is more upscale. not that the interior of the s2000 is bad or cheap - not at all. but when i get in a boxster, it doesn't feel like a performance car to me. and the s2000 does (well, more than the boxster anyway)
