There are a few things I might change - the spoiler carved into the tail lights, the mirror mounted to the door, the interior door pull ( I prefer the 987's), the cheese-grater dash-top vent.
But I'm being picky. There's little doubt in my mind that Porsche has hit a home run.
Configured with my preferences, it's over $75k U.S., translating to $100k in my driveway. In reality, I'd have to win the lottery to feel comfortable parting with that kind of change when my 987 still feels new and 'just right'. And, since I don't buy lottery tickets, chances are the only time I'll see one parked outside my house is when Guenter comes to visit. ;)[/quote]
I'm with your Roger. I'm don't care for the spoiler in the tail lights. It just takes away from the smooth curves. ...and yes, those Civic mirrors don't belong on a beautiful car like the Boxster. My BIG finger crosser is the position of the gear shift lever, but you can't tell that for sure until you actually sit in one and drive it.
I also hope they bring out a nicer silver than the Platinum. I like the GT Silver .....but $3K .....ouch. ::o
