That is really a beautiful set up. Almost turbo. I like the lights in the grill and the head lights look super.

I like it much better, even the headlights look better than the retro round ones on the 997.

pleasant looking, but don't know if i like it better than the 997.
i think it's just personal subjective taste.
I like them all. .....

Looks good. There was probably a debate inside P about where to put the turn-signal lights. They made both camps happy by using both designs.

The 997 is actually truer to the original 911 look. The Boxster is more mini-CGT, which I think is okay.

Thumbs up

I thought Porsche should have gone towards the CGT look; look forward rather than behind.

IMHO this should have been the 997 front end. I agree it is all subjective- just my $.02

I do not think the rea is a big departure from the current Boxster...could have done better IMO to differentiate the two generations
