awe, now the boxster looks even more like a 911, and that fixed rear wing looks out of place. A retractable one would be so much more appealing.

I like it personally, but then again, i love anything Porsche save for the Cayenne, neway. I like the overall shape it looks a bit less round/egg like so thats a good thing IMO. I love the Boxter...it might be lower in power, but M/R is great.

Ahh Porsche! *applause*
Now if they can just get rid of that stain called the Cayenne...

I don't see the sense of having a fixed-roof Boxter RS. Doesn't they already have something called the Cayman?

Like motoriety27 pointed out, I don't see the point of a Boxster with a fixed roof because that's what the Cayman essentially is.
I'm also a bit sceptical about the rumoured 'RS' variant of the Boxster/Cayman - it would put the 911 under too much threat.

This might be like the 911 GT3 & GT3 RS, same engine/horsepower but improved handling and lower curb weight.
Another thing, the standard 911 Carrera now makes 345hp with its new Direct Injection engine.
If the Boxster S & Cayman S do get new DI engines, they should at least make 315hp.
If you can't make the car stronger (to keep a gap between the Boxster/Cayman and 911)... maybe you can make it lighter and handle better.

I have to put on my glasses again to see what Porsche has done that makes this a facelift.....
As i thought.....nothing much.
Or maybe I am just getting old!

What I would like Porsche do is. Take the 3.6 Motor and put it in the Boxster. Then take the 3.8 used only on the Carrera S and make it the standard motor for the Carrera, GT3, Turbo and GT2.

I don't get why Porsche thinks everything has to look like the 911... I have always liked the looks of the Boxter. Seems like it would make more sense to let the Boxter styling evolve then Boxter owners may be more apt to "upgrade" to one of the more exclusive 911 variants down the road.
