Happy Days Posted December 19, 2018 Report Share Posted December 19, 2018 I see a T model just announced. Sits between the S and GTS.It's a 2.0 with lots of nice options ticked and the PCM removed. I'll stick with my S, thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mneil Posted December 19, 2018 Report Share Posted December 19, 2018 You would have expected the 2.5s engine if they are trying to position it between the S and the GTS. Puzzling! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daz05 Posted December 19, 2018 Report Share Posted December 19, 2018 I think the 2.0 is best for road use and best suits the T mantra, quite looking forward to these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toeside Posted December 19, 2018 Report Share Posted December 19, 2018 It feels sort of special 'edition' The 718 is a great car but sales still haven't taken off. It makes sense almost 2 years in to its launch to raise the profile of the car and dangle some incentives to get sales moving Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The boxster is Porsches lowest selling model and sales have been decreasing since 2013 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toeside Posted December 19, 2018 Report Share Posted December 19, 2018 Sales in the US have dropped since 2013 but sales in the UK had started to increase in 2015-16 with the 981 but fell away on the introduction of the 718. The UK dealers look like they were pre-stocked to a certain extent but the closure must have had some impact for those wanting to spec so agreed the closure certainly didn't help.

temporarychicken Posted December 22, 2018 Report Share Posted December 22, 2018 Looked at the new Cayman T and though, wow, this should be a bargain. But at 51k they are not!!!!!! If I wanted a stripper Cayman with no options, I could get the base 42k and take the radio out. I'm struggling to see the value add, other than sports chrono and suspension. For the money they're asking, I would want the 2.5 in it. Since Porsche sales fell 80 percent from last November, I fear that this is not the solution to get the orders in....

T Box Posted June 7, 2019 Report Share Posted June 7, 2019 I have the Boxster T and the main differences are all under the skin with the premium over the boggo model being paid for PASM, torque vectoring, active engine mounts, sports zorst etc. Its better to drive than the standard car having tested all the range - much more engaging. I would describe it as a GTS model with the 2.0 displacement instead of 2.5. Granted, the T thing is marketing of some sort to kick start new interest by harking back to the heritage 60s models, strategy of course started with the 911 T a couple of years ago.
