Re: Boxster Coupe?
Has anyone got any insider knowledge on when to expect the 987 roadster and coupe? I have my name down on the waiting list at my local Porsche dealers, but they haven't a clue on when to expect the new Boxster. Some UK dealers are telling customers to expect it by the end of 2004, whereas Autocar magazine this month stated that it would be "late" 2005.
I'm tempted to order a new 986 for delivery next summer (6 month waiting list in the UK), but don't want to find out that the 987 will arrive just a few months later.
The thing that tends to make me think that the 987 will arrive sooner rather than later is the 50th Anniversary edition Boxster. It seems like it could be a special edition launched to mark the end of the 986, instead of celebrating 50 years since the 550 spyder (pretty tenous).

Re: Boxster Coupe?
To my knowledge, the 997 shows up first next summer (2004).
The 987 is rumored to come around summer 2005.
The 987 was supposed to come out before the 997 or with the 997 together at the same time but apparently Porsche switched priorities towards the 997 (which is understandable).
I hope this helps but be aware that this is not confirmed information!
