Boxster's don't photograph well
 

Am I the only one that thinks Boxster's don't look as good in pictures as they do in person? They seem out of proportion in photos. Especially with a hardtop or 03/04 top. In person though, they look so damn sexy even with the hardtop or 03/04 top! I catch myself just starting like a deer in headlights at my boxster all the time. I know I'm bias, but the 986 is a great looking car.

I think it depends the angles the pictures are taken.

I agree, much better in person, however of all the colors, Black is the most photogenic IMHO :)

I always look back a few times at the car and occasionally stop and consider taking a photo.
Something magical happens in the early morning light with a black 986.
Add some rain and its quite alluring too.
Those folks that don't let their Boxster get wet don't know what they are missing.

Like any model, they have their "good sides." I think the rear 3/4 view is the best and the straight-on side profile the worst.

But, for a 20-year old design, I agree - they have really held up well. I like 'em!

Eh, I think they can look good in photos.

OK here we go
 

:) I think they photograph really well.

No, they definitely look better in real life. Does anything look as good in photos?

That's my favorite view. Sharp!

I think they photograph just fine...

Everything looks ten pounds heavier in photographs but I think Boxsters look great except for the front shots down low then they kinda look like frogs.

A lot depends on who's taking the pictures. I'll say Wallace River takes some sexy pics of his yellow Box.

Front- down- low looks more like a Great White if the car is Arctic Silver

Look out!

I don't mind this angle on a 986.

I've taken far too many and have very few that I like, so I agree.

This is probably the only one that I really like.

Love the profile.

OK, maybe it's just mine in side profile I don't like.

Yours in silver looks great!

I like mine from 3/4 rear.

PS: First State native here! Driving down on Sat, but - alas - not in the Box.

Teenage girls. They tend to look a lot better on Instagram then in real life haha.

Thanks! The equipment and technique make a big difference. Using a longer lens and standing back farther and paying attention to the background is all important in getting a sweet shot.
