The scary thing is that the overly complication for basic maintenance and with $75 to $100/hr, these things adds up when you need to remove this button up that, etc. I can imagine service work beyond the basics that would make you cringe. I have a colleague who is a Porsche fan and has put a down payment on an NSX and have sold his 911S because it's past warranty.
"I sold recently b/c it was off warranty and started having expensive problems. I decided to unload it b4 I got mad at it. "
That said, if I would or more appropriately could, trade up right now; the Boxster would be my choice. In reality, the argument is really not about engineering but more of what each of us could afford in order to play. Yes it is complicated or maybe overly complicated but if one can afford it, one would. I have no doubt the Boxster is a better car than my ZR on many levels and I still lust after one on the occasion I see one. But right now, I do love my ZR. But.....I guess it is just rationalization on my part.
