All of the above plus....

.....986 is the last “analog” Boxster.

986 has a spare tire.

987 does NOT have a spare tire.

986 has a dip stick so you can actually see what your engine oil looks like and know exactly how much oil is in there.

987 has no dipstick. Only a digital level.

986 has beautifully integrated, aerodynamic headlights that were a styling icon that defined a generation.

987 has “see, I look like a classic 911” headlights that are derivative and bland.

986 saved PORSCHE from bankruptcy.

987 is just a refresh with more electronic crap.

The 986 was built from 1997-2004.

Lots more of them around.

987, not as long a run.

986 is the thinking person’s PORSCHE.

987 is just another Porsche. Not a landmark design that saved a company and dominated the market.

986 is Star Wars.

987 is Empire Strikes Back.

Life was better before Luke made out with his sister.

Cheers.
