After driving one and then the RX-8... I'm glad I have the RX-8. The only thing I "miss" is the option to have the top off and maybe the flat-6 engine note. Otherwise, the RX-8 hangs with or outperforms the Boxster. Mind you, that's a Boxster and not a Boxster S... which was out of my comfort zone for a good model at the time I bought the RX-8.
Cachet-wise... meh. I've loved Porsches since before I knew they were "elite".
Personally, I'd opt for a 350Z/G35 right now before getting anything less than a 911, and even then... maintaining a 911 in this town is MURDER.
