Interesting altough understandable. I really like the Cayenne and my wife is a boxster fan. She thinks I should trade my roadster for one, but thus far I am not even considering it. I think with all the upgrades my roadster out performs the Boxster, even the "S".

I would hope you would you never consider switching to a boxster... there's nothing spectacular about them. I would even say they are boring... and I love Porsches!! I would take a Dinan Z3 over a silly Boxster any day. Plus, try working on a boxster's engine...
Anyways, good on Porsche. They need to sell more Carrera GT's in my area though.[headbang]

The rise in Cayenne sales may be due to the base-model Cayenne no longer having such an underpowered V6 motor...now it has 290hp with a base price of $43,400....that's a damn good deal for a Porsche!

Dan, might I suggest the Cayman. I had one for a weekend and it was by far the funnest car I have ever driven. I am hoping that I have some rich unknown uncle pass way and leave me some cash (not really) I would run straight down to Porsche and buy me a CaymanS
