There is sure a hell of a lot of RIGHTS before a car like the Boxster becomes truly great.When buying a car, especially a performance orientated car at that... questions like SL55AMG vs PORKIE Boxster just shows that you are in fact not even a motorhead. You're comparing Apples against Oranges AND then expecting a bunch of ignoramuses to pass verdict.Let us dissect your query in the first place.1) We have a guy here (probably 23 to 24 years of age) studying in the UK, claims to be a motorhead; asking us about SL55 vs Porkie. Loves to touge and blast down highways! Just graduated and now wants to purchase a car. We could not care less if it was his granny or father paying for the car.First of all, the cars mentioned are from TOTALLY different classes. One is a GT, the other a hairdresser's car. To a genuine MALE motorhead, this question is as stupid as "Do you have a dick or a pussy?". Nuff said.Secondly, the price range is totally different, you must be a real muttonhead to not have spotted this.Thirdly, Are you going to be paying for the SL55's road tax in Malaysia and has your dad thought about maintaining the car in Malaysia and NOT UkYou want to touge? - Go buy a cheap car like an Evo or Subaru to thrash around. Do NOT block the roads in Genting/Ulu Yam/Insert Fav Road with your slow poke Porkie OR Merc. BOTH these cars (esp the SL) is going to be a pig on theses roads. Not because they are slow BUT more likely cos you have the skills of a 23 year old NOOB driver with no idea what TOUGE is all about.You want style? - Grow a brain, women find that sexy.I'm all for weighting pros and cons of a certain genre of car. I have got no beef with rich men's sons. I however have a chip on my shoulder when it comes to people who are dumb and try to drag other people down with them.Just for the record.I'd take the SL55 anytime. WHY? Cos its oozes presence, it makes wicked MANLY V8 noises, as comfortable as a pair of jammies.Why not the Junior Porkie? Cos its everything a Porsche isn't. Its Character - LESS, I can't even be bothered to differentiate it from the Cayman, Boxster S, 3.6 or 3.8 or whatever other bullshit. Buy one and you risk letting people think you stole your sister's car out. Unless that's your thing. Btw...nobody notices Porsches, except car-nerds.</blockquote>
