Horsepower will most likely be raised 7% if in line with the gains of the 997.1 vs 997.2. Fuel Consumption will also be improved. As for styling, the front end looks like an improvement on the Cayman, but I have not warmed up to the droopy taillights that I have seen spy-photos of. The front end of the 987.2 Boxster seems to have a trapezoidal shaped air dam, which gives the car a bit of a frown, like the last Acura NSX's.
Ipod integration, and touch screen navigation and other updates that are the essence as to why we buy Porsches are nevertheless welcome. As for PDK, was hoping for paddles, but I like to shift, even if slower, it's a more involving experience.
In short, 90% of the population will not notice the styling differences, which is probably good news for Porsche.
