I’m going car shopping in an hour or so, I have narrowed it down to 2 cars, and now I need help deciding…

Jaguar XK8 (hardtop) or a Porsche Boxster

They both….

Get close to the same gas mileage

Cost about the same

My insurance agent quoted me a $50 difference between them?

So I’m at a loss, I been racking my brain about this all day

So help me out! Please!

Witch one should I get and any pros or cons you can think of

Thanks

How do they have that kind of exhaust. They are from different companies, yet they soundu very nice! But how?

i don’t know if it is the fastest. The mirage gt is a modiefied carrera gt.

- If you buy a car from a company in Germany, will a porsche dealer be willing to take off all of the logos/designs and their emblem, and put on just, a plain Porsche logo? I want to buy a car from Germany, but I want a plain Porsche embem, and nothing else.

Or should I just learn how to drive a manual?
So I went on a tour of the Porsche factory in Stuttgart, Germany and every single Porsche is custom made. They don’t just produce cars that don’t have owners and ship them to dealers for people to look at, orders come in and the cars are made specifically to someone in the world who ordered it. So when I do get my Porsche it will be made exactly how I want it. That’s why I ask about getting automatic put in.
I have the option of getting whatever transmission I want. They make them specifically for the person who buys the car. I’d be living in Germany when I get the Porsche, so I have the autobahn to take into consideration. Wheeeee! I ask because besides being ‘fun’ are there any other perks to driving a manual as opposed to an automatic?

I am 21 years old and last nite I was driving in my dads cayenne and when all of a sudden i slipped on a piece of ice, slammed on the break and the car slid right into a mazda 3 hatchback, wasn’t going that fast or anything.
The porches damage was substantial, damaged the bumper and broke one of the lights, the mazda 3 however was severely damaged, broken tail lights, broke back glass and major dent in trunk.
I live in Montreal, quebec, canada where we have no fault insurance, not quite sure what that is perhaps you could explain that to me. Can they sue me, the accident was my fault, no doubt about that. The deductable on my dads car is 3000 dollars, anything over our insurance company, allstate pays, what do you think the deductable is on the mazda, I estimate around 500 dollars.
It was my first car accident, i was horrified, i’m so nervous, what happens next?
Has anyone else ever gotten into a big accent, please help me?
the other guy has insurance 2, it was a kid driving his dad dealership car.

the porsch is 186m behind the scion and traveling at the speed of 24.4m/s. and the scion is traveling at the speed of 18.6m/s. both traveling the same direction.

I have a Porsche 997 4s Convertible is it Possible to hack the Computer. I Know that the computer is a cut down version of windows mobile and was wondering if firstly i could hack it and secondly if it could run normal windows mobile Apps.

Any help would be appreciated

I would have thought it would be rwd but when I was looking at specs on various sites, some sites said front and some said rear. What’s the deal? Can anyone give a definitive answer? (Please provide something to back it up, if you can.)

Thanks!
–Ok, thanks to you guys for answering!
Yeah, I also thought it would be kind of ridiculous to have a Porsche with fwd, almost as ridiculous as a Porsche SUV… oh wait.
Anyway that’s good news, now I’ll definitely look into getting one.
