Wing going into tail lamps is like women and their over-drawing their lips with lipstick. [/QUOTE]



I kinda like that. Nothing is wrong with looking a little slutty.

I like the wing too. I think it's classy. The door is awesome. But, I am not impressed with the headlights.

Love the package. Headlights more than taillights. Overall package is very classy.

Maybe it's just me, but I see elements of Volkswagen Bluesport sprinkled in there. The boxier and more angular shape I guess. I think better looking than the current gen Boxster, but I still maintain the 986 from 2003 is the best version they made in terms of looks. If only I could switch out the head and tail lights from the new version :P

You might be onto something there blood, what if it was too wasteful of euros to scrap all the work done on the Bluesport so they "Frankensteined" it into the design? I think the headlights look like a cross between Nissan and MR2. IMO, the original fried eggs were weak, especially the cheese corner piece that always allowed moisture in during a wash. The current units are too busy, LED sprinkled in as if to say, us too. And the Spoiler going into the tail lights is ugly Benz-eske rip.
