Love the new 981 though - absolutely gorgeous!
Just happen to love my 997 more. More room; back seat (to hold my "stuff"); and love the extra HP and torque!
I'd go for a 997.2 GTS next.

1+. Also, saw the first 981 on the road during last weeks' Porsche drive. It was way ahead in the snake and at first glance I thought it was a Mustang. It definitely does not have the so recognizably classic rear of the 997. The C4S / GTS / TT widebodies? Beautiful.

I miss the crap out of my 987S that I had. With the exception of the back seats and more power, I prefer 99% of the time the drive of the Boxster. I'd love to have a 981.
Keep us posted with pics.

The only people that dog on the Boxsters are those that have never driven one. It is truly a fine machine!
