    Re: Boxster at Paris

    OK, Here is a question - is there any more room inside as was hinted at previously?? I realize that with the same hard poionts, there could not have been a great change, but anything would be helpful.

    Has anyone gotten to sit in it???

    From what I have seen the 18" versions are very similar to the 19" versions. I like the 19"s and people say they look awesome in person. Actually I like the 17"s the best....wish they would make them in larger versions though.

    Re: Boxster at Paris

    The wheels on the boxster S look like the 997 19". I have seen them in real and I don't like them at all.
    Are they 18" on the boxster ?
    I cannot imagine 19" wheels on a boxster...
    18" will be the limit.

    No, they are 19" on the Boxster. The Boxster gets the same 19" wheel choices as the 997. The 18" Boxster S alloys which are available are specific to the Boxster though.

    The 18" are probably the ones on the red one in this post

    997 acheived "more" room by lowering the seats 10mm and moving the pedals 10mm forward. Maybe a similar setup in the 987.

    Same seats = safe bet.

    Looks sweet. Can't wait for the coupe. On a totally different subject, look at the first pic. Did anyone else see the really fat guy and the really skinny guy hanging out togther. Cracked me up for some reason.

    RareAir, I don't think that's funny! And my skinny friend doesn't think so either.

    They are both Porsche employees. They ensure the ergonomics of the cockpit and seat tubs work for both ends of the customer size spectrum.
    You should have seen the size of the guy they used to benchmark the Cayenne .
