The 996 911 was also looked down on at the time and everyone has seemingly come around on it, and that improvement in sentiment bled over even to the old generation Boxsters.

I have to partially digress on that one, notably the ever made part. Whilst a very cool car that is sporting, the Boxster Spyder is just another modern, expensive (and highly profitable), Porsche GT car that will be collectible. The 356 Speedster, 356 Carrera's, 550 Spyder, 1967 911R, all early 911 S/E variants, 914/6, 1973 911 Carrera RS (perhaps the best sports car ever made) 924 Carrera GT/S all come to mind before the Boxster Spyder when I think purist sports cars Porsche has built. There are many others, notably the myriad of road going 911 Homologation specials Porsche has produced over the decades.
And let's not forget the 924/944/968 lineage. The front engine, 4 cylinder, water cooled Porsches are some of the best sports cars Porsche has ever built. I loved my 1989 944 Turbo as much as my 911's, such a great car. The 968 Clubsport is one of my dream machines. A unicorn would be a 968 Turbo S/RS. Oh to dream...
