It was a Porsche you could afford on a good wage. You didnt have to be rich, just doing well. Which pissed off Porsche enthusasts and fanboys. It wasnt built for the Autobahn or the Nurburgring, it was a Miata for the cashed up. Not only that but to the non informed, it looked too much like a 911, It took away some of their exclusivity.
Imagine if Ferarri released something in the fully loaded Mustang price bracket…
I think you’re reading into it too hard. It was a light-hearted joke meant to express that most people that arm chair them cannot afford them. Myself included.
Why would they buy a Porche, if they find it ugly though? Wouldn’t the fact that they find it ugly only be confirmed by them not having one?
This is like:
“I don’t like horses” - “Thats because you don’t have one”
Not sure I understand ¯_(ツ)_/¯
The hate was never about the looks.

They don’t say Porsches are ugly, they say the Boxster is a fake Porsche.
