Look was I saw on the road...

interesting.
the first one has the bumperettes right next to the plate, while the last pic has the bumperettes more by the reflectors. Looks to be a US vs Euro difference though, so that may explain it. I don't hate it, but the rear curves are what I love about the 986, this one seems to "mess" with that...

I do like the cutout for the rear lid so you can get a few fingers under it to lift it

That looks like it's under the spoiler, not at the edge of the trunk lid, stateofidleness. I was wondering what that cutout was, got me wondering if the spoiler comes up high enough now to block the upper brake light, making that space under it act as a light when the spoiler is active...


Porsche Boxster S: Spy Shots Photo Gallery - Autoblog

Autoblog gets crotchety with people trying to directly link to their images, it seems, so I had to provide a link instead.
Take a look at the last two pictures where the rear of the vehicle is shown. I can't tell if there's a clear housing with a cluster of LEDs in there or if that's just a gap, hard to see in either picture, but could just be covered up in the camo'd car.
