But the Carrera is nicer looking. But no self-respecting engineer would justify such subjectivity.
I always thought the Boxster is the best looking car Porsche makes at the moment. I never liked the bubbly rear end of 911's (and now Panamera), something which the Cayman fixes a bit but is completely revised on the Boxster.

At the end of the day, no matter how much money I had I'd probably buy a Boxster if I bought a Porsche new.
