Default NEW Boxster revealed
Didn't see this posted. New Boxster has just been revealed and to me it looks even better than 991, specially the front end, its baby Carrera GT. Backend its hard to tell from pics.

I agree that the new Boxster is looking BETTER then the 991...geez. It looks almost like a scaled-down Carrera GT! Love it!

Just like the "get the GTS now vs wait for the 991 dilemma", the boxster guys have to decide if get the spyder now vs ...

Looks absolutely nothing like an early 2000's Mitsubishi Spyder GTS with a Barry Boys body kit.
Nothing I tell you!

Looks great from the front, but I'm not as wild about the deeply sculpted flanks and big scoops. I've always prefered the lines on the 911, and the current cars are no exception, but that's just me.

Wow, I must be the exception, because when I look at it, I just go "meh".

Maybe it's better looking in person, but from the pics, it just doesn't do anything for me.

Front is stunning, back ... Not liking it for the reasons Mike mentioned and there you go the Panamera inspired interior once again.

This new Boxster is gonna sell like hotcakes. It's nice to read they did not abandon the base level flat 6 and replace it with a 4 cylinder only option.
