Yes.
I was greatly disapointed by the "new" Boxster. Porsche missed a great opportunity to advance on the design of the Boxster.

I am sorry dreamcar but I dont agree with you. Porsche did a radical move when it introduced the Boxster. It was fresh from every point of view. It brought new people into Porsche world for the first time, including myself. Another radical move is the CGT and Porsche failed to capitalise on its very successful design. Sooner or later they will be forced to make some very radical decisions from a design point of view, just like MB & BMW. I just hope they make that decision before its too late.
Its just my opinion and you have every right not to agree with it.
One more thing, happy new year to all of you

I agree with dreamcar. I have owned 3 Porsches and the residual value is incredible compared to other brands, evolution vs. revolution has the great benefit of always improving cars but not making previous models look "old." Look at BMW or MB, old cars look old, yes the SLK has some interesting lines but it makes the previous SLK look old same with SL, not to mention BMWs.
Happy new year to all.

Dreamcar,
You must understand that I am not questioning the capability of Porsche to produce superior driving cars, I am a good example. I purshased my Boxster because of its looks and the moment I drove the car I became a Porsche believer . My worries is that in the world of sports cars where the design is very important, Porsche might suddenly turn into yesterday's design and people might move to other brands with more "fashionable" designs, like Aston Martin for example.
Oh by the way, I love TVR's, specialy the Tamora .

Most Porsche fanatics would at any given time refer to the evolution versus revolution.
And then again the look of the 987 will most likely ensure that reselling price of my 986 is kept high.

Most major brands'downfall has been that they change their core business or change their number one reason for being.
Look at Coca-Cola, Lego, Kodak and others.
