Next generation Boxster
I'm in the last 12 months of my lease and fighting the urge to pay it off and get out of it now (or the next 6 months), especially if a new Boxster and Carrera are 12 months away. Help!

Thanks RC. Would you happen to know the engine and horsepower the 987 will have? I've heard it will be using the 3.4L but with 270 horse power.
I'm actually on the fence between a S and a 996 Coupe. However, I prefer roadsters but horse power issues may draw me to the 996. Thanks again.

p.s.I'm thinking to stay with my 996 Turbo until the new 997 Turbo is available(now i love my car,for me 996 TT is the best car in the world)....i'm thinking right or is better that i change my ideas from a 997 TT to a New 360/Gallardo??

I think as you said that 997 is an evolution of the 996,like the 964 and 993..
But now.....when 998 comes out?!?!!?
If 997 TT is scheduled for 2005/2006,998 not before 2009/2010...now we are in 2003 and in seven years also life can change...
RC tell that Porsche just know the look,the weight and the power of the 997TT...any rumors??
My next car is probably a 997TT,but is interesting also a 997 GT3/Cup/RS...
Thanks guys

Ron,
Don't know about US press but it is all over the UK mags and to my surprised is outperformed by the 996 Turbo especially in X50. Not too mentionned that like RC said once, the Turbo (and X50) has great genes for power upgrade.
So if it's OVERALL perf you're after, there is no substitute: Porsche!
If it's style, noise, etc. then it's a another story!
Fanch.

No test match, but just references, 0 to 100 on the paper is identical (4.2 secs) although Top Gear has achievied 3.9 with the X50 (o to 60 mph).
Press seems to say that the Gallardo feels like a Turbo with Italian style in terms of handling.
Fanch.
