All of this is totally subjective, but there are many things that I like about the 987.

Looks wise however, they have taken some backsteps in my opinion.

Personally, I hate the new standard wheels and I don't like the side vents either.

I really HATE no having a dipstick. Soon, they will put a lock on the damn oil pan so that we can wrench anything!

But on balance, the changes to the driveline seem solid and well thought out.

I am partial to the 03 Box S as pretty much where the 986 was "completed" in my mind.
