wtsnet I agree with all your observations, as I have noticed these "peculiarities" myself.  As you know the sunvisors on the Boxster (and 911) are not particularly wide and so the setting sun is often below their level of coverage.  The swivel feature on the 911 is naturally very useful and in many instances works to better effect than the drop down position.  I've had no problems w/ the visors to the side in terms of buffeting on the highway, but our speeds here are limited to 70-80mph. One thing I've noted is that the windshield on the 997 Cab is taller than the 987, and the 997 cabin is noticably larger. It's not surprising to me than taller people can fit more easily in the 997 than in the 987.  Ironically the seats choices are all identical, so no relief for the "wider" among us!
