we should probably merge this thread with the other that have the same pics.

Btw, I really do not like this door design. A blatant recycling of an old Carrera GT design.
I don't know why Porsche would waste an oppourtunity to do something new. Unless they had a bunch of old Carrera GT doors lying around in a warehouse. Such an overt design does not marry well with the more subtle front end design. This looks more like something that would be spit out by TechArt or the dearly departed Gemballa. And 20" wheels on a roadster is really not geared toward the enthusiast driver. That's leaving you with even less tire choices and blows out the proportions of the fenders. A complete contradiction of the theme of balance in a car that performs brilliantly without needing huge power. In others words...it sucks. I'll take a Boxster Spyder design every day of the week. Even with its SoCal only bikini top.

By the way. You should check out this month's Excellence. They do a Boxster Spyder v. Cayman R head to head
and guess who comes out ahead on virtually every time sheet?
