Saw them both at the LA Auto Show, and although the changes are subtle, at the same time they are quite different to my mind. Where I prefer the 986 over the 996, I much prefer the 997 over the 987. The muscular stance of the 997 is fantastic, particularly the rear quarter.

 

Darren,

Have you ordered your Carrera S Cabriolet yet?

I personally like the front of the new boxster. It looks more aggressive with the larger air scoops

 

No kurt I am holding off on it till i drive one around for an afternoon. The way the mkt is softening for 996 TT cabs I think it would be crazy to spend $100k on an "s" cab when i see many 04 TT cabs for $110k with under 4k miles

 

Know what you mean, Darren. I'm not a big fan of the TT cab, however, but it's so hard to spend the same amount on an S cab as on a used TT cab. I'd wait until the S showed a little depreciation as well, then it would be certainly less than the TT cab.

 

I think I am the only person on 6speed who likes the lobster fork wheels. Those are sweet.

 

Yeah, I know what you mean. My problem is I don't really like all wheel drive. I've gone through a couple different suspensions on my X-50 and it still doesn't thrill me. It's fast but I like the feel of rear wheel drive better. And I like a lighter car.

So I don't think a TT cab would make me any happier.

 

welcome to the dark side :-)

 

The sad thing is that of the three intakes on the 987 S, the middle one is completely closed and doesn't do anything and the 2 side ones are only half open. The 986 S had 3 fully functional openings and they were there for a reason. It seems that Porsche has decided to rely of form over function in this case.

 

NASTY INCEST

 

I like the lobster fork wheels too, that's why I ordered the car with them.

 

i like it.
But i would need another set of wheels as well.
