Thanks RC, I'm really surprised by the approach Porsche is taking with the Boxster.

Porsche barely camouflaged the 997.2 and 987.2. When the small amount of camo that was used came off the 997.2 there weren't any surprises so we know what we are getting as far as appearance goes with the 987.2. Anyone with a MY05-08 987S should be overjoyed, the styling was so close to perfect that Porsche redesigned the front of the 997.2 to look just like it, and now are going to ugly-up the Boxster facelift with elongated headlights, unnecessary round intakes and Japanese looking tail lights just to muck with it and make it look less like the 997.2.

Maybe I'm in a grumpy mood today but so far the biggest upside I see for the 987.2 and its delay is within a year of the 987.2 release we'll probably have spy shots of a Boxster 988 or 981.
