that's funny because i wouldn't buy a car without xenon now. my commute is suburban, high speed (25 miles of interstate), usually pre-dawn except this time of year, and teaming with roadside dear. there is a big difference in you drive outside of a city environment

Having had both the 987 base with halogens and the xenons on the S I actually think they're comparable at low beam, the projector headlamps work much better than any standards halogen that I've seen.

However, the combination of the low beam xenon and halogen high-beam spotlight on the S is truly outstanding. It seems to be almost double the range of the halogen only high-beams.

Long story short, for rural driving where you can use high-beams more, I'd have to agree with Mtch.

looks like a green MR2, terrible.

That's not the color I saw. I thought Rolex green was an option not a customer supplied color matching deal. The color I saw was dark dark green almost black with a gold shimmery flake that shifted color in the sun light.

Lemme see, my high school TR4 was about that color, more or less. Interior color was "rusted to match exterior", if I recall. Not an unpleasant shade of green, but it sure wouldn't be my 1st choice on a car like a Boxster.
Also, I have this hunch that if I ran down to my local P-dealer, ordered up a custom extravaganza like this, then casually sauntered in to drop the bomb that I really didn't want it after all, changed my mind you know - somehow methinks I'd get stuck paying for it anyway. But some people pull it off...
I say take it to the track. It's got good brakes!

I quite like the color, but it would have looked better with sand rather than cocoa

I've thought about someday getting a brand new Boxster. All I want is a base 987 with S 18" rims and seat heaters

If you are referring to the top color, Porsche does not offer a sand colored top. Just black, metropol blue, stone grey and cocoa.

Sand would be a nice chioce if they had it. Now, keeping it clean would be another issue!!

I dig that color quite a bit....hey buffalo, I have a white 05' with s 18"'s and seat warmers I'll part with! I'm going for the green machine!!
