Re: Some new Boxster pics from Paris show(interior)
Nice pics - thank god people didn't have to rely on mine, must have had a fault on the camera 'cos they've all the close shots have focused very perculiarly. (Nothing to do with me not wearing my glasses obviously!)
Am in the process of scanning some of the exterior ones though as they're OKish...

Re: Some new Boxster pics from Paris show(interior)
Having been boxsterless since the end of last year it was difficult for me to tell. Plus the roof was down on all the show cars you could sit in. Plenty of head room in that configuration!!!
But, have read elsewhere that the seats are now positioned lower that they were in the last car and I did feel like I was sat lower from what I could remember.
I'm only a measly 5'10" but am long limbed and got plenty comfortable (the little bit of extra steering wheel adjustment also helped) without having to result to the full seat back that I used to have to do in my last Box.
6'4" - a friend is that tall and could drive his old Fiat 126 he had at Uni looking out of the canvas sunroof over the windscreen - this could be an option?!

Re: Some new Boxster pics from Paris show(interior)
Many thanks for the brill photo's - at the risk of banging on about it, that sport chrono looks even more hideous on the Boxster dash than on the 997! It looks just like a Halfords after thought stuck on with blue-tak. Ugh! 
Has ANYONE dared order it on a Boxster?

Re: Some new Boxster pics from Paris show(interior)
Actually on the very first pictures the SCP looked much better than on the 997 - I guess we have to wait and see it in person. At least I have to...
What I find kind of ridiculous is the air vents - they simply look as if they were borrowed from another car and turned by 90 degrees - I bet they actually are!

The vents don't look that good I agree, BUT they do distract your eye from the Gargoyle
Porsche always look better in the metal than in photographs, don't you agree? In which case the 987 should look awesome! The exterior, anyway. Can't wait for mine to arrive.
Re: Some new Boxster pics from Paris show(interior)
True,
actually the exterior pics, just like on the 997, weren't on par with the first video and TV coverage I've seen about the car at the Paris show.
The SCP watch didn't look that bad with black leather.
I am quite surprised how many people order the car in silver - obviously you can't do anything wrong with that choice.
Anyways, I would consider the blue metallic paint either, it just doesn't work out with the Cocoa package.

Two colours for me arctic silver / blue / blue or cobalt/ grey interior blue roof.
Re: Some new Boxster pics from Paris show(interior)
The cocoa interior does nothing for me I am afraid. Just as well we all like different colours - as long as it's silver cobalt I go hot and cold, sometimes I think it's great sometimes too "feminine". Lapis looks OK in the right light, too dark in others.
