At least the name 718 has a historical basis.

Your post has far more substance to it, at least.

Base model Boxster costs 7/18 as much as a 911 Turbo?

Uh-huh, sure. And everybody calls it the MX-5 miata.

Still just going to be boxster/cayman to everyone but pedants.

Huh - I did not know the Boxster had roots in an earlier Porsche.

Cool! So when I buy my new Cayman I get to use a hot new name as well. I like it.
