Few questions about the boxster

Yes it does. IIRC, the front is the same, but the rear is different (obviously stiffer and all that, but I don't have the details).

The other read-between-the-lines thing is that the plastic window is bigger (better visibility) than the glass window (03 onwards, as others have pointed out above). That said, I think I'd prefer the glass with defroster if I lived in a cold climate.

2001 and above have integrated cupholders (with slight variations over the years), but for earlier models you could still get "attachments" that would clip on to the air vents. Not sure how well they work. Oh, and the base wheels on 2001 onwards were 17", but I think you'll find that almost all boxsters from earlier years have 17" wheels as well (which were optional).

Dang it, I knew I was forgetting something. The 01 also came with a headliner in the soft-top -- better sound/weather insulation, probably also a better look than with no headliner.
