    I don't like these winglets along the rear lights. What's the point of spoiling an attractive design with those cheeky

    We've already seen it undisguised.

    Realize there's camo on those other pics but doesn't the side scoop look more significant in these pictures?

    Wonder what the 991 Turbo scoop will look like?

    I think the Boxster looks magnificent!

    The only thing that I am slightly disappointed with is the front. I think that it could be a little more "aggressive". It still looks a little "dainty"  to me.

    The Boxster must be debuting at Detroit as my dealer said he gets his first showroom car in March.

    Yes, the magazines are misleading by claiming Geneva. Since the car is almost naked - it's only few days until we see it official.

    I'd guess Detroit too, Mercedes-Benz will be showing the SL roadster, seems like perfect timing for Porsche to counter with the new Boxster and show some 991 cabs.  Take that M-B! indecision

    That´s for sure...they separated the boxster-front-end-look from 991´s  face significantly...interesting strategy....makes sense to me....

    I like it kiss except for 3 things :

    - the rear spoiler lip; maybe I'll get used to this new design feature the more I see it

    - the headlights; I hope it's the viewing angle, but in the 1st photo they remind me of the MR2 headlights

    - the center console; too GT-like IMO

    To many people (average guy in the street) the Boxster and the 911 cab were very similar - back front and sides...  Now they are VERY different.  That's got to be a good thing...

    The back seems squarer to me too - no-one can say now that they don't know which end is the front.

    As a contrarian, I think that's a pity - I liked it that 50% of people hated it!

    In many aspects the new Boxster looks better to me than the new 911, though I rather like the looks of the 991.

    Wooow.... the Boxster hast left High School, and is out for the Big Business. It's the first time, I could imagine to buy a Boxster S over a 911. Well done Porsche! Now give us some specs!!! wink
