On top of the $104K you would have to have to buy it

Yep, $204k it was. But it is cool.

I think that it's Riviera Blue, (993 color), but it's hard to say. They are very similar.

I bet it looks even better with the top down/off.

I assume it's not that much lighter than a regular 911 or 911 cab?

Wow, I love it. I haven't seen Porsche come out with such a nice looking car since, since 1989.

Don't forget, the original speedster was the super economy model, stripped down and no comforts...

I love the Fuch tributes, but somehow the car's proportions look off to me.

I'd love to have one of them. The modern Fuchs just look right on that car.

I think it's the rear; the design of the soft top makes the rear look bigger/longer when it is up.

"Bloated" describes it perfectly, too much space between wheel arches and tires, but that can be fixed.

They had one in the same/similar color scheme at my dealer when I was walking through, looked great until I saw the price. @_@

Just get a boxster spyder and call it a day.

With all due respect.....I hate it.

It's the antithesis of everything Speedster and embodies the worst of Porsche excess IMO.

Overwrought, over optioned, overweight, ill proportioned, available only with an automatic, swathed in leather down to the coat hooks it is, IMO, the ultimate Porsche poseur vehicle. For the same money you could buy a GTS convertible and nice used GT3.

But I do like the color.
