a) better in what regard? bigger? yeah. slower? yeah. if bigger and slower is your thing, you should get a mustang instead
b) sounds better than 9k rpms? debatable.
this is assuming we're talking about the base model. when we're talking boxster s, i'm with you.

217hp, 192 ft-lbs and 2800 lbs for the base model - compare to 240hp/153/2800 lbs for the S2000, and the boxster is a bit quicker in the 1/4 miles. I'd take the p-car.

Yeah, the boxster is a hairdresser's car

So when can I stop in for a haircut?
I dont have any desire to own a S2000, either.

talk about kool-aid. where are you getting your info from? it's wrong. the following site is comprised only from data found in reputable sources: <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.albeedigital.com/supercoupe/articles/0-60times.html">http://www.albeedigital.com/supercoupe/ ... times.html</a><!-- m -->
s2000: 5.5 0-60, 14.0 1/4
boxster: 6.0 0-60, 14.5 1/4
boxster s: 5.1 0-60, 13.8 1/4
again, the base-model boxster is a good bit slower than an s2000, which is why i would not buy one.

Yes, they're fun - mikey would rather bench race Its not sharp edged like the S2k, so diff'rent strokes.

or point out that you're wrong... 
looks like an '00 Boxster S w/ 65k miles goes for ~20k. hrmmmm... what's maintenance like on these suckers? how well do the interiors hold up? hrmmm. do i want to trade one 5+ year old convertible w/ 60k miles for another? hrmmm.

The very early cars (97-98 ) had some serious issues - i'd stay far, far away. After that... pretty solid but replacement parts and dealer labor ARE more expensive than on a honda.

Jay, I'm disappointed...
My parents used to have an 02 Boxster S, and I have to say it was the most fun I've ever had in a car. I agree the normal boxster isn't as fun, but how are they ugly?
