Porsche just did not try hard enough on the Cayman/Boxster and overlooked some serious issues that do not take long to figure out.
I took my car in for service for the blue smoke, you know what my dealer told me? THIS IS NORMAL and there is NOTHING wrong with the car!
Trunk clunk, they installed the new kit, but guess what, the noise is still there. I took it back to fix it again, they mentioned that they cannot do anymore than what was already done.
How is a CS owner supposed to feel confident about such a car when significant problems that are very easy to uncover either become ignored or cannot be repaired when attempted?
My dealer is one of the best in the business and have been using them for several years, even before moving to a Porsche, so I cannot put the blame on them.

All this may be true, but it has little or nothing to do with your comment about Porsches being "too precious" to push hard in testing - which was the point of my post. Complain all you like about the things you don't like, but please don't post information you don't seem to know much about. By the way, they do test them very, very hard...
I don't think they overlooked the problems - they just didn't think it affected enough people in enough circumstances, as DaveC points out. Like all companies, they make choices, and they're good for some, not so good for others.
I'm sorry you don't seem to like your car - I suggest you read DaveC's post above, it explains the PAG mentailty quite well.
