Well, the new 'vette got downsized a bit, but it does have a wheelbase around 11" longer, and just feels bigger. I think it was the tall, squared off front fenders, which they have also improved. I'm not sure about the styling yet, but I will test drive one when I look to replace my Boxster.

BTW, who ever said 50/50 weight distribution is "ideal' ? The marketing people for front engine cars that can't do any better than that. It's always a compromise with design parameters, but a slight rear bias of 55% or so is better, for a variety of reasons, including traction, and reduced front scrub while cornering.
