The soft top looks weird in the back without the clamshell. And I'm not a fan of the un-imaginative Carrera GT recyled door style. Seems like they're going toward a convertible buyer and not a roadster enthusiast. Oh and that whole flat six thing....

p.s.
Lotus is bringing their A-game. I like the shift toward Lamborghini-esque styling.

The car is evolving by adding tack-on features that designers often do to "freshen" a design. The continued reduction of the rear hips and that fixed lip between the tail lights are the most dissapointing parts for me.

this car looks great to me . you can tell it is a boxster , right away. it still has 986 elements. it looks way more muscular and modern than the 987. i really like the side vents and door lines (picture an aero kit on this thing). i don't understand why anyone would want it to look like a 986 that car is old ! i will bet anyone that it will out perform the previous car in every way. Porsche has had 15 years to think about this all new car. I just wish I could afford one
