I think the only Boxster the 981 really hurts is the 987.2. It's no longer the current body shape and for those who want that and will pay a premium for it, that's a major demotion.



I think we agree. The 981 is not a minor style change. It's significant. By comparison, the 986 and 987 basically look the same, so the 987 will be lumped in with 986 and will be perceived as "dated" too.
