Autoweek Ride in the 981

[Overdrive]

And I again agree with you about the Countach and Esprit...though the Countach has never really looked bad to me (in its stock forms).

And I have a soft spot for the Esprit, so it's hard for me to dislike many things about it, but I did like the very simple, no frills nature of the first generation...it just didn't come with enough reliable engineering behind it being a hodge-podge-of-parts car for just about its whole life.

The Anniversary model is pretty grim:



Early wide arch 5000S a la Cannonball will always be close to my heart, but LP400 blows them all away.



Then again, the orignal concept is even cleaner...



Anyway, I agree - the 986 will eventually be recognised as the purest, prettiest Boxster by far.
