All IMO of course.
Hey, at least it is a Porsche in the sporting vein that Ferdinand established all those years ago. I think the all around performance and engineering brief of the Boxster validate the Porsche brand identity.
OTOH, a tarted-up Volkswagen SUV with a bespoke motor does not - IMO - make a proper Porsche....regardless of how fast it is. And the V[R]6 variant is just disgusting to think about.
(And for the record, I felt the same way about the 924/944.

Getting back on topic though, it's a shame to see Porsche lose their way in design purity.
h: Back to teh drawing board, methinks.
