2011 porsche boxster spyder: First drive

[enzo1]

..... elemental, raw, top flaps in the breeze and in a hard rainstorm water comes in the sides just a tiny teensy little bit, not enough to make you wet but enough to let you realize that dammit, you have made some compromises for speed and you are a real man and this car is loud and visceral and angry and why did you do it again and what is all this for and then you drop it down a gear and floor it and the earth erupts and pours liquid gahhhhh into your ears and sunshine and breezes and OH MY GOD IT'S WORTH IT.... http://jalopnik.com/5549796/2011-porsche-boxster-spyder-first-drive?skyline=true&s=i

Cool.

What's this:

[enzo1]

door handle?

[71T Targa]

Could be, the 'airbag' had me confused, but it could be a side bag.

[enzo1]

same as this .... a handle???

[scottmandue]

Looks cool...

But the rag top looks stupid.

Are they going to do this wth the Cayman?

[onewhippedpuppy]

The RS door pull handles are a nice touch. I want.

[71T Targa]

I think that is where the top attaches.

[Pazuzu]

Saw one this weekend, it looked good.

Saw a V6 Panamera too. It looked like a Panamera with no balls.

Oh look vern, it's got a 911 nose...



How very stirring and original.

[enzo1]

I figured I'd here from u LOL, so how about the "new" 928????.... if they make it

[m21sniper]

It looks pretty good from the back, but it needs a wing. Honestly though, i don't know how you make a car and call it a 928 without these on it:

If they build it... Snipe will come

[enzo1]

Snipe would b looking her over, no doubt!

[mistertate]

Nylon door pulls next to a power window switch...am I the only one who sees the irony?

[cairns]

"Nylon door pulls next to a power window switch...am I the only one who sees the irony?"

No you're not. Pure marketing gimmick IMO. But it they depreciate fast enough they could be worth owning.

Hey why not? The 928 has street cred. It's an original.

A nice alternative the Aston Martin?
