I agree.

I think the 986 is the car and the one which in years to come will be the most collectible and sought after.

That said, with it's larger displacement, full vario, and such, I conceed the 987 may be the better car, just not the nicest.

All IMHO of course.

Cheers!

LB, I do hope you are right. This is one of the reasons I'm working hard to keep my 97 look as good as possible. It's a first year Boxster that just might be worth something one day.

Sorry guys! I prefer my 987. I drove a pristine '98 and it just didn't feel as composed. I like the more modern headlights better too.

But there is nothing wrong with 986's at all! I'm just biased I guess.

I don't hate... I just love what I drive, and drive I do. Besides I gotta stand up for the late-models!

Mine isn't bigger than yours, nor better.

Just different.

I'm enjoying mine, hope you have equally good luck and fun with yours...or even better.

I like them both but I'm partial to the 986 as long as the HR Puffinstuff eyes/ headlamps with the hideous orange are swapped for litronics...
