Lux reviews the 987S (long)

[Pilot2519j]

[QUOTE=Richard Truss]it sounds like i am in the overwhelming minority, but i like the 987. I think the exterior is georgous.

Indeed the 987 is a gorgeous car! What I believe guys are commenting that there is nothing revolutionary in the 987 vs other 986's. If I had money to burn I would buy the 987 in a snap. All the comments here are regarding the esthetics and design of this or that, all of which are subjective evaluation by the individuals. Suppodsedly the car rides and handles better than the 986 as evaluated by countless magazines. They can't all be wrong about the performance of the 987. As time passes the the 987 will be tweeked with more performance and updated with more ameneties as Porsche has done since 1948

And hopefully they will find a good fit between world class performance and world class style. Ferrari and Ford's GT40 are in my opinion the two best examples of that equal balance. I don't think I've ever me anyone who didn't say "WOW' upon seeing one in person.
One half of the equation in SUper Cars excite everyone as much as the other half. This new Boxster and its Cayenne interior really doesn't achieve that (IMHO). I have a feeling this latest 987 design will not remain for 7-8 years like the the first two designs.
