It's a Porsche, that's all I think about it.

I see Boxsters and Cayennes all the time
but 911's and Cayman's less often. I saw a new black 911 4s pumping gas next to me the other day, I like the new rims. :yumyum:

+1

They're still fun though. They sound cool and handle decently.

But the fit and finish is pretty bad, and they're pretty damn slow.

no...A "poor man's porsche" would be different brand of car that is cheaper and is purchased in attempt to simulate owning a Porsche. Such as the Miata.

No we call it a poor mans porsche because if a poor man really wanted a porsche thats pretty much all he can afford thats why WE call it a poor mans porsche.
