Default Boxster Coupe in AUTOCAR magazine



Priced below the Boxster softtop, the coupe may lose its Carrera GT inspired headlights in favour for more cost effective 986/996 style lenses. Regardless, I like it a lot!

Personally, I think the coupe is a waste of time, but that is one of the best Photoshop renderings I've seen of the new Boxster.

I don't think the Boxster coupe is a waste of time, but I WILL agree that the photo is one of the best Photoshop jobs I've seen.

Now add some twin turbos and a clear engine cover and that would be a car!

people are talking about a new boxster and a 997 and such, when is all of this expected to be available in america?

will a new style boxster decrease the value/desirability of the current boxsters dramatically? it would kill me to buy a $30k car (looking at preowned right now obviously) then a new model comes out a year later and i have a $15k car!. (extreme numbers but im sure you know what i mean)

I think you'll start seeing the 997 soon, as an '05 model. I think the Boxster coupe may be another year away, as a late '05 model or even '06. That's what I'm hearing, anyway....

its really nice, but they should work on those MR-2 replica air vents on the fender, also, the front bumper could be restyled a bit... otherwise, beautiful!
