Default New Boxster

IMO Porsche have eventually got the styling right with the new 2012 Boxster

Finally a boxster I'd swap the S2k for.






Except I wouldn't swap the S2K for a Boxter.

Pretty shape.

I realise they're tied in with VW Group these days, but did they really need to use doorhandles and wheels from MAN?

Roll hoops look vaguely familiar.

I agree. Even more feminine than its predecessor.

I read about this on Pheads the other day, looks the business I agree, but those 20 inch rims are a bit OTT... 20 inch wheels on the entry level Porsche?!?! I bet it would look much better with 18 / 19 I reckon... suspect it would handle better too!

reminds me of one of those sketches that max power used to do a few years ago...

Even looks good with the roof up! unlike the Z4 & 350Z! Not keen on the mini spoiler though.

What's the performance like?
