I have my flame suit on.

If you look at just the front clip "a" piller forward. Its not a bad looking car.

Different light design than I have seen on other boxster and the bumper looks good.

Maybe I am punchdrunk after my night of the hood latch last night.


Flame away!!

No I don't think its a re-list. I think its the guy who bought it the first time around, and then realized that he bought such an abomination of a boxster and decided to sell it as soon as he took delivery. " I bought that!?"

About the only things that I like about this car are the head lights, side marker lights and the easier access to the engine. But hey whatever fills you Twinkie.

100% agreed

Everything from the A pillar FORWARD - looks really good.
Everything from the A pillar BACKWARD - questionable

Hopefully the next-gen Boxster will have some Carrera GT influence in the front end. But NOTHING else from that stretched and smushed lookalike. Reminds me of the Dino kit cars that when you get close enough to them the proportions are all wrong.

Ignore the gorgeous girls and the goofy doors. Look at that front end and lights on a black car!

So I am not out of my mind, the front does look good.
The front on a black car does look sharp.

I like the front and sides.

The back though, needs to be re-thought.
