Default Boxster S or SLK55

Guys,

I'm looking into getting an used Boxster S or SLK55. It's going to be a daily fun ride. I live in sunny So. Cal. Convertible is a must. :P

In your opinion, which one would you prefer? And why?

The reason I post this thread in Audi forum instead of MB/Porsche forums to avoid biased opinion. Serious reply please. Thanks. [8D]

slk55 hands down....MUCH nicer, WAY more class, WAY more pimpin...[sm=pimp.gif]

boxster is to porsche what the festiva is to ford...i understand it's the 's', but it's still just a boxster....plus i don't really find the boxster visually appealing at all, whereas the slk55 is a beautiful ride.

for the record there are a ton of both in so cal. If u want a porsche u need to get a GT2, GT3, 911 turbo or Carrera GT. Carreas and boxster are way to common. Maybe a cayenne but thats a SUV and i have started to see more of them. Get that in the turbo cause u need a SUV that will do 0-60 in aroud 5 sec.
