And what have they done to the new Boxster? It suddenly looks a lot better and more hetero.

I love the new Boxster. I'm still on the fence about the 991, I thought the 997 was a great looking car and the 991 just seems so big.

I loved my 2.7 Boxster. Great car. Good deal to, they offered a discount through my cosmetology school.

Denis is it me or does that Boxster take a lot of cues from the CGT? I like the looks of that car a lot.

I need to warm up to the Panamera Wagon I would buy one used. They are ugly but I would get used to it.



Is this even real ?

That Boxster looked even better in person than in the pictures. I'd vote that SOB, "most improved", for sure. I drove around the block to get a better look and wound up taking these pics.

Did a drive up of four 2013 porsches this past week - PanameraS, BoxsterS, CaymanS and the new 911S -

BoxsterS won in my opinion - great little car - loved the course we were on, great looks. Felt most like the 'classic' porsche classic 911 go-cart feel, but all the newest gizmos.



much more fun than the rather piggy Panamera

I wanted to scream when I saw that pic. How did you drive through there with that little traffic. After we went through the house, we decided to walk to brunch with my new client at Hugo's, a few blocks from where your pics were taken. Traffic was already a mess for a Sunday.

I am really start liking the fat pig of a 991.

The 991 pics were not taken today, I think it was a weekday afternoon a couple weeks ago. The Boxster pics were today on Beverly Blvd. That's normal traffic during non-rush hour on that part of SM Blvd., it waxes and wanes.

I think the 991 needs some more letters / writing on the back.

I do agree however that it is an improvement over the 997 rear looks.

What kills me to this day is how huge all theses cars have become. That's practically a no-starter for me.

And the 991's "Engine compartment"? Really?
