Next Boxster?

[simbob]

Eh how??? if they made that the new boxster it would be one of the best looking cars on the road, imo it is awesome!!!!

The original Boxster's body design integrates the lines of every element. It's lithe and tight. It's intricate, but it looks simple.

It seems to me that every subsequent "redesign" has been nothing more than an exercise in tacking on something inconsistent, such as the size or shape of an opening or an aerodynamic aid which interrupts the flow. As helpful as these may be for feeding air to a larger engine or when when the car is operated at the high end of its limits, they make the design less cohesive and coherent. As a former racer, I appreciate the functional effect, but, I think it's a shame that the clean elegance of the road car is lost.

The "new" Boxster is almost a complete departure from the original concept, with all the right boy racer cues and hints of Carerra GT lineage, making it look like it's a mini-exotic ready for the track, but to me it has lost nearly all the appeal of the original grand touring roadster.

Different strokes.

Different car.
