You come out and bash the brand as a whole using a single incident with a single driver as the start point of your argument.
I cannot remember the last time a Porsche driver drove like a dick around me, but I cannot say the same for virtually all other brands; with the leaders being BMW drivers, Civic drivers, and Prius drivers.
You got defensive which is understandable since none of us likes to be picked on. But then you call Porsche an over-hyped VW. Where is the logic there? For you not to like Porsche personally is one thing. To call it an over-hyped VW is just plain silly since it is generally considered to be one of the finest brands in the world and in a league of its own.
Sorry you had a bad experience on the road. It happens to all of us.

I guess I've never seen Porsche in that light. I'd rather a Ferrari, Lamborghini etc. They're certainly not my "next step" - I'd look at Aston Martin first. Just *MY* preference - but yes, I have felt the wrath of people for whom that's not their preference.
As mentioned, I didn't intend to bash the brand (as I said, the title in hindsight was a mistake) and all I said was that *THIS* Boxter sounded like shit. Not all Boxters. Not all Porches. Just *THAT* one.
I can't remember when any other driver drove like that much of a dick around me in any car. Prius drivers tend to be self important assholes, as do truck drivers here in Texas. Drive down the wrong lane, cut you off at the last minute. Usual shit. Never had ANYONE drive like this Boxter driver. Hence I was surprised and bemused.
I called Porsche an "over-hyped VW" just this evening, after having tolerated a barrage of abuse and crap for the past 72 hours. Perhaps it was a bad call and a knee-jerk reaction, but after the shit I'd been dealt for the prior 72 hours I'd got to the point where I just didn't care. So no, I reject that comment as a valid reason for what I've dealt with.
