The GTS 4.0 looks just about perfect. And the idea of being able to spec it just as you want is pretty compelling.

For my part, I’ve been coming the conclusion over time that I’m just not really a roadster person. The GT convertible is much more my comfort zone. I don’t really like a car that sits super low.
If I could buy it in 4-5 years, I'd feel more strongly about the likelihood of spending that kind of money on a car, but not right now. A Euro-Delivery with a drive straight to France would make Mrs. FC happy. But that is not enticing enough to do it for this gen.

That's what bothers me most. In the past there was always the "there is always the next gen" thought. Not anymore. If I could know there would be one more "traditional" gen of Boxsters, I'd just shut up and wait.
