:driving:

:leghump: that is all


Edit: nah but srsly this is the first boxster I find attractive. Its like that girl from high school who had glasses and braces and acne. then you see her at your reunion and you realize she is a victoria's secret model. kinda like that.

Oooh! Daddy likes.

looks kind of like an MR2 spyder ;)

looks like Ferrari California to me

Definitely a huge improvement over the outgoing model...lots of styling cues from the Carrera GT :tup:

have you seen one bro? that doesn't look anything like a ferrari california short of the convertible part :ugh2:

my thoughts exactly... and that's a good thing :yum:

:iagree: love it

any power improvements?

i would assume a marginal improvement over the last body style but nothing drastic. big news last time was that they finally put an LSD in the S models iirc, that and the PDK option

much improved from the outside

Boxsters don't come with LSDs stock? Makes feel better about my base model purchase :roflpuke2:

never been a fan of the Boxster, BUT this Boxster may change that..

That picture at the beginning is my desktop wallpaper for the time being. It's crazy when you look at the old and new Boxsters together you can see the design differences, but viewed in isolation it's a little more difficult to discern. I hope they do a Spyder version of the new one, perhaps with a slightly more useful convertible top.

S.

all this does is make me excited about wha they'll do with the next cayman S and cayman R. :yum:

they should make a cayman/boxster GTS or GT with power more similar to the 911.


But I know that would never happen...it would eat into their 911 sales. :(

There is a turbo kit that goes for$ 9k that brings it up to 450+hp, but I bet stock 315hp is just right.

It looks fantastic! Both the base and the S are going to be really sporty rides. I'll have to check one out.

I've never been a boxster fan but this new one completely changed my mind. I thought I had another contender as a replacement for my Z in the next year or so, that is until I started optioning one out on their website. EVERYTHING is extra. The price quickly shot north of $70k before I finally just stopped. There's no way I would pay that kind of money for that car.

Porsche kills you with options!

Wait 3 years. Enjoy the Z then pick up a low mile used one loaded for $35k

I'd always heard that but didn't realize just how bad it was. I assumed for the relatively high starting price that it would come very well equipped in base form. That's simply not the case though.

I start out with a 911 at around $78k and end at $115-125k with the options I want. :ugh2:

I have a hard time believing I'll be able to pick up a loaded model for that kind of money in only 3 years. I'll most likely be looking to see what they do with the C7, 2013 GT500, 2014 Mustang, or 2014 STi instead. I'm more of a bang for the buck type of guy. They won't be as luxurious as the Boxster but I'll sleep better at night.

This makes me angry :mad:

I am bang for the buck too. I could get a boxster or 911 but I'd feel really bad about it. I think if I get one it will be used.

Yeah, you're paying for the engineering that's behind the base model. The growl produced by Porsche's power-plant is absolutely stunning IMO.

No doubt there's a lot of quality engineering there, but a lot is the Porsche badge premium as well. That's really what kills it for me. I want everything but don't want to pay for it. :icon17:

for some reason I'm really tempted to price one out now, just to see all the options...trying to resist

Unless you're willing to spend more than $60k on it then no harm will be done. :icon17:

:tup:

I agree. I don't really see too much of a difference from last years model which I looked out prior to picking up my roadster. I think initial price wise they are comparable but when it comes to maintenance, if it's anything like my wife GL450, i'd go with nissan. Once our management contract expires, I'll be dropping 200 bucks just for an oil change!

Isnt it basically the same as the one out now, just a little different in body terms? Sounds like the speed is the same as the Z, dont know if I would trade up for it... I do like convertibles though...

I think I actually like the one out now better for looks...

You must've held back when selecting options then huh?

I was trying to be frugal. :bowrofl:

I'm really liking this! Might be something I finally replace the M with! Have to wait to see it in person

looks pretty neat

Yeah its sweet! Boxster S with 315 HP 2900 lbs, torque vectoring, PDK. Its a beauty. The base goes to 27 liter 265 hp motor. Bet it will get awesome MPG

Its almost as sweet as my old Boxster.

^ That's a pretty extreme boxster ^... those first gen. boxsters are pretty cheap on the used market now.

This new one looks good. How the brand is putting their name on the back of the new 911 and Boxster is growing on me (at first it looked like too much/big)... i do have my dad's words in the back of my mind tho ..." the only real Porsche is the 911"

Steve why do you always have to state that you "could get one" in like every other expensive car thread? I never wanted to call it out, but this is like the 100th time i've seen it and just had to say something.. 101st time it's been "I could have bought a porsche/I can buy a porsche" too.. We know already :p



On topic, go look how much used Cayman's are... It's shocking how much they depreciate and even more shocking as to how many used ones are out there. It's crazy
