Porsche has had to stoop quite low IMO to save its bacon. It's sad and unfortunate but I understand the Cayenne saved them. So the irony is, of
course, that the least possible sporting vehicle (weight, center of gravity etc etc) had to be developed. Yes this is old news and most have processed the emotional trauma (I'm still conflicted LOL), but I'm putting this out there as folks are freaking out about a black painted Carrera. Come on now!

Now Porsche has added a "Boxster S Black Edition!"

I'm holding out for the "Targa 4S Cabriolet Edition!"
