Hey, we may not agree on everything, blue, but I can at least agree with you on things like this.
If there were a sports car bible, I'd expect everything I mentioned, maybe excepting sleekness as an absolute requirement, to be in there.
Going back to the purpose of the thread, I can't say the Boxster
looks terrible. It doesn't, but it doesn't evoke that same tug on the heartstrings that Porsches can get from people the older you get with model years. Knowing that it's likely bigger, most assuredly heavier, and likely more posh while also likely being less engaging, I feel I'd be disappointed with it overall even if it outperforms my 97 on paper.
