p.s.
Great pics of the new 928 concept and the all new $130K Lotus Esprit.
I have spent allot of time driving the Turbo Solstice & Sky redlines..
I don't care of the Solstice blows the doors off GT-3's.. there is NO comparison to a Boxster.
I could not live with a Solstice every day, the roof is a joke, I can barley fit in it, there is no storage and while it is a fun car it does not have the quality feel of a Boxster, They are both roadsters, thats were the comparison ends.

my .000986S cents
