Think Inside the Box.

If you think the Boxster is small... check it out next to my 1966 Triumph Spitfire Mk2.

In every dimension you could entirely fit the Spit inside the Box with room to spare.

What else do you think fits inside the Box?

Does anyone actually think the Boxster is small?

I think it's about a foot too long and about half a foot too tall. There's more bulk than I'd consider ideal. It could keep the same wheelbase and still loose a foot in length with all that front end overhang.

Garage
I know everyone has probably already noticed this..

A friend of mine has a '69 911T. He had it parked next to my 2kS in the driveway. I have a deck that overlooks the driveway. I was blown away at how much smaller the old 911 was.

Garage
All I have to say is I wish my garage looked like yours, fusionist...those are two beautiful machines, and if I had my choice I'd have to drop into the Triumph. I love that classic look the cars had back then.

I used to think the Boxster was small, but very quickly realized it's only small (in some ways) on the inside, and even then it's not so bad. I'm pretty sure it's pretty much close to the same length as my '03 Corolla sedan, and maybe only a bit wider (or its just got fuller hips ) a few inches lower to the ground, and certainly several inches lower at the roofline, which would also give it a wider-than-is appearance.

Anyways, I bet that Triumph is a blast.

My Boxster is very obviously longer than by brother's Jeep Cherokee!
