- I'll keep thinking about the boxster. I did enjoy it more than expected. There is a near perfect spec near me but the color is blah... They're not unreal expensive to order. I could always order one in right color and spec (for less than what a low mileage 997S goes for). I don't like how they look/feel with the top up so much.

- The gen2 update is significant (imho) and I really would like lumbar support. However, there is no rush...
Certianly no rush for anything top down. I'm even waiting until January to order the M3C--despite the fact that it's a hardtop convertible. Don't want to deal with garage/winter wheels until next season.

I'd also vote that you order a car exactly to your spec, it's always a more satisfying owner experience.
