I just saw and sat in the new 987. All in all, it did not do it for me. Just seemed to fatten the car up which is not to my taste. Having said that, it is still a fine looking car.

I did like the new seats, did not like the remainder of the interior changes, esp the clock, ala Infiniti. UGH!

IMHO

I will drive one next week. I understand the new trans is from Japan and not Mercedes and that it shifts "less notchy" according to my service buddies.

Hold onto the older Boxes boys, they may be more valuable than you think!
