I agree. This car looks way better in person than in pictures. I've been to all sorts of dealerships these days looking for a Panamera Turbo with my husband and all I do is stare at the Boxster Spyder. I am definitely going to trade in my 08 Boxster for this, with AC & Nav of course. I think it is totally worth the silly do it yourself top b/c the shape is so gorgeous.

Opening and closing the top seem like a bit of a chore:

Are you kidding me! You need to go through all that hassle to get the top down

Car looks great though.

I want one.

I like it. I have always owned Jeeps. The top reminds me of how the tops on them work. They are water tight too. I just recently (friday) bought my first Porsche. 99 Boxster in Ocean Blue? $12,000 cash. I have not even seen it in person yet. I live in Maui and it is on Oahu.

I cant wait to see it. But seeing the Spyder make me a little jealous. I love the way the top stores in the car. Look at all other removable soft tops on any brand and the do not do that.

Porsche is the only 1 of 2 car companies in the world that charges more for its hardtop (Cayman) than the convertible (Boxster). And people still buy it.

Other is the Lotus Extige.
