The Outlaw Magnus Walker's Verdict - Why Porsche is Losing the Halo Race

I don't want to upset you too early, but you said something to me about the Spyder RS on your way in.

Yeah, that's, that's got more to do with the, the stereotypical clients that I deal with that are Spyder RS owners.

Do you like the Spyder RS?

Uh, well, I've never owned a convertible.

Something about wind in the hair and beard in the face.

So, uh, I'm not a fan of it, but I'm not a fan of convertibles.

I've never owned a Targa.

I've never owned a convertible.

What I will say that I've noticed here is yesterday I did a little poster giveaway.

I spoke to hundreds of people, and it's kind of surprising how many people are Boxster and Cayman owners here at this event.

I know.

It's madness.

Way more so in the States.

And I walked around the car park at the hotel, that Mickey Mouse Hilton Garden Inn, and 50% of the cars in the car park were actually Boxster and Spyders.

So that seems to be, you know, Porsche's stopping making 'em, but yet people still want 'em.

And it's the 30th anniversary of the Boxster, and the Boxster sort of...

The Boxster and the Cayenne saved Porsche.

Oh, wow.

You know, 'cause they were struggling 30 years ago.

Yeah.

And I will say, people ask me all day long, "What's the best first-time entry-level Porsche or best first-time Porsche?" And I go, "Really? A Boxster." You know, unless you've got all the money in the world and the sky's the limit, and there's a Porsche for every budget from 500 bucks to 50 million, right? But the best entry-level bang for the buck, without a question of a doubt, is a Boxster.

Like that one right there, that silver one with red 67, that guy paid 1,000 bucks for that car.

Yeah.

It's unbelievable.

Wow.
