I think the Boxter Coupe looks more like a 911 than the new 911

[svonkampen]

Hi all,

I'll probably be shot for saying this but.....from the various spy-pics of the upcoming Boxter Coupe......It looks closer to the "Classic" 911 than the bloated 996.....in my opinion it looks better (leaner)

Thoughts??
Almost forgot ....links....

well now that you post the second pics, I definitely think it's a hatchback

hmm...how am I going to swing this...

I agree. Though, I dont like the headlights in the one link.

I also prefer the boxter shape to the 996 Cab... it makes me sad to think about it. Hope the 997 will be more of a head turner.

You think it's a hunchback? Hmmmm, rings a bell............

Tyson.....U no like??

ps: Who is the bookie for your race with Mull??

I think if it lives up to the rendered versions, it will put Porsche Dealership visits much higher up on my to-do list. It's quite nice looking, and very "Porsche", while looking less "Toyota" compared to the 996.

I was just being silly. It was a Quasimoto refernce. O.K., I won't quit my day job to hit the comedy club circuit.

You want to put a bell on a whale? How could you do that to our precious marine life.

the 996 is to the 911 what the 300Z is to the 240Z

I was told there would be no math. That sure looks like an equation to me. Let's see.... cross multiply, divide by the numerator, carry the 4..... Hmmmm.... I end up with a 356.
