Good Road & Track article on the beginnings of the 986 Boxster

Great article. If they make a 718 gt4 or 718 spyder or just whatever they have to call it to put a NA engine back in will make it a very very appealing car!

I agree with this. The 981 has a far better front fascia. The new 718 fascia looks more "executive" than sportscar. It looks stodgy, not youthful.
