If you compare them similarly equipped the difference is much more than 10 to 20k -- at least the difference between the Boxster S and the 370Z roadster -- the base price difference without options between those two is at 21k
Edmunds lists the base MSRP price on the Boxster S as 58K. It goes up from there once you start adding enough to make it equipped similarly to a loaded roadster. I believe the 66k "priced as tested" for the Boxster S in the comparison was for a poorly equipped Boxster S. Almost everything is "ala carte" with the Porsche -- They charge separate options charges for special gear shift nobs, aluminum trim in the interior, bluetooth connection, etc. You should see the list. You can option out quite nicely, but you'll pay for it. It doesn't take long for the options to get the S well about 70K. A fully optioned out Boxster S can be higher than a base 911 price.
