Not too keen on the headlights, but the front end looks much more aggressive and the rear looks ten times as good as the previous boxter. Not like I can afford one anyway though..

Haha, I do like the front more, but the sides are killing it for me. Also the pricing isn't bad, 45k for a porsche is worth it imo. My dad has had his cayenne for 6 years now and has not had one problem with it, so for that price I think it's worth it, but I can't afford it anyway either.

if only porsche could make the rear end look better. i've never been a fan of it's rear. the tail light and trunk design since the first boxster have never on the porsche level to me. they should look more aggressive i think.

at least the front end is def stepped up!

edit: now that i look at the rear on the new boxster, it definitely stepped up on the rear end as well, but still not a huge fan.

I do agree it looks like a carrera GT, but I think anyone seeing this car would first think of an Mr2. Just because an Mr2 is way more common than a Carrera GT haha.

If the MR2 looked like that, Toyota would have sold a lot more of them.


I'm assuming there is probably a Cayman refresh in the pipeline too?

MR2 doesn't look half bad with TRD body pieces

I like it...although the lights look very un-porschey too me

I always liked the MR2 Spyder and thought it looked pretty cool with some of the aftermarket bumpers that smoothed the front out.
