I just got my November issue of car and driver this morning. It has the 2013 Boxster S and the base 2012 911 having exactly the same performance numbers. I got my approval 10 minutes ago on a 2013 Boxster S picking it up on Saturday. Some magazines prefer the new Boxsters handling as well. Mine with comfort package, Bose, nav, 6 speed manual, is priced at $74,000, that same car in 911 would be $102,000.
