Feck off - the lot of ya!!!
Round my way, the middle class ladies who lunch much prefer SLKs and hairdressers prefer TTs and Mini cabs.
That leaves Boxsters to retired gents and 30's IT consultants, accountants and solicitors like me.

Bugger - thats worse!!
what matters is how it drives - and the fact we can see through the image problem. besides, does any Roadster have a 'good' image? I'd prefer a box to a Z4, slk (withstanding AMG) or TT.
Of course, given infinite spending power, I'd have a 997 GT3 or a F430. Then again, I'd still want something open topped to hoon around in - so it'd be a Boxster S.
