What is scary to me is that if you add up all those "special options" the sticker price is likely over $70K! Give me an un-optioned 997 or a used 996TT/GT3 for that kind of "d'oh!"

It is a bit overdone.

I had a similar reaction the first time I took a look at it but I think the more I see it the more I like it...certainly not boring!

I like it, but the cost must be extraordinary. One thing that is impressive is the level you are able to customize your car new from the factory. The Honda S2000 in contrast, if you want a red exterior, it only comes with a black interior, and there are no factory options. Makes the buying decision very easy, but not very unique.

I like the interior. But my 1st Boxster was a white 97 with red leather.

I like it, but I also drive a Orange Infiniti with a matching Orange interior. So, I might have skewed taste . As far as the 70K price, I would buy a 996 GT3!
