Which is why the Boxster looks terrible with the top up. Ungainly.

Clearly your visual aesthetic has been tainted by all those ugly Targas you've owned!

There are huge differences between the two.

Thanks, Doug. My feelings exactly! Of course, looks are subjective. I think the soft top on the Boxster makes it one of the best looking roadsters on the market, when you compare roadsters with the tops up.
