I'm in love with my RUF's curves so even if I got less performance I would get a 993 over a cayman every single time.

Totally different cars. Both great [I've never had the fortune to drive a TT but owned a 993 in the past and hopefully will in the near future], but very different machines. Depreciation is right--my wife has a Cayman S as a company lease car, $80K out the door with tax, etc and now is probably worth $45K with only 8K miles on it.

One great reason never to buy a new car, EVER.

OK, but i thought it was the opposite with your other points.

i.e., that leg room was in shorter supply than head room?

WTF does visibility (i.e. blind spots) have to do with leg room and head room?

I didn't say they were related. It was just a note that visibility is limited in the Boxster. I'm out.

Isn't it true that because of the mid-engine design that leg room is limited and that because of the bubble style top without sunroof that headromm is plentiful?
