Drove a 981 'S' tonight...

The headlights are very generic and not Porsche-like at all. Thumbs down for me. Nice car, but the looks don't really do it for me...especially not for the price.

It looks like an Acura...blah.

Not Porsche-like?? Are you mad?

The Boxster front end is the closest thing to the Carrera GT the company has yet produced. IMHO.

That is my thought as well. I REALLY see the Carrera GT when I look at the front end of the new Boxster.

This is something that I don't understand...why would you want a Boxster to look like a Carrera? They are two separate cars and should have their own identities. Jmo...but if you like the Carrera GT so much, look at or buy a Carrera. I like the original Boxster look much better.

I'm biased but I think this looks more CGT eske, however I also agree that the Boxster has carved out it's own enthusiastic Porsche place in the marques history.

You do know Carrera GT /= Carrera? Sounds like from your post you are confusing the two. Which would be easy, given the Carrera line is nothing remotely like the Carrera GT line, but does in fact offer a GT3 and GT2 (without the Carrera nomenclature).

Anyway, your incredulity as to why anyone would want their bottom-of-the-line $50k Porsche to look like the top-of-the-line $440,000 Porsche lead me to believe you were thinking people mean the 981's lights look like the Carrera, not the Carrera GT.
