Some epic trade-ins at the dealership today.

[Retroman1969]

I really like the 981 Spyder, But I wouldn't kick that one out of bed.... even though I agree the A/C (and the PDK) is a bit of a copout when you consider what the mission of this model is.

I'll probably get called out on this, but as fantastic as the 981 is, it looks a bit too.......... Nissan like for me to be entirely smitten with the looks compared to the 987. At least from afar. That said, I love the 918 steering wheel and the much simpler-to-operate top on the 981 Spyder compared to the 987 version. On either, the super low profile.... um, profile and flying buttresses really knock me out. It just feels like a more pure interpretation of what the Boxster should really be.

Agreed. I real like the style of the top....I see a GT4 everyday but have yet to catch a 981 spyder in the flesh...I would guess that it is a stunner. Which do all prefer the the new or old Spyder?

I think the 981 style looks better on the Boxster vs the Cayman. Big improvement in the trunk / top down process on a 981 Spyder. I don't know for sure but would assume the manual has rev-matching as std. The 375 HP would be handy too. But I don't like the $90K price, although at Thanksgiving my salesman buddy offered me a new Spyder even up for both my cars. And you'd have 20" wheels which would mean more expensive tires to replace if you DE with a brand new car.

I like the look of the 987 Spyder with the top off. The 320 HP would be nice. I'm a business major not a mechanical engineer, so I might have trouble figuring out the top up process.

I do like how this one is optioned. It also has bi-xenon and nav (maybe they all have nav). Just trying to discourage any potential buyers so I can think about this one.
