You mean closer to $80k for the pleasure. That's what the Boxter S is going for with a decent color of paint, premium package, and sport package. It's kind of silly, really.

My last post notwithstanding, you are absolutely right! It's amazing how Porsche managed to keep the design language consistent while making the new car look closer to a shark like instead of last year's Flounder.

Agreed. Interestingly, the Cayman has taken the roofline of an F430 and the F458 has the roofline of the old Cayman. Granted, Ferrari did it in the best way possible, but I think that's why I like the Cayman so much.

Meh. Boxster with a blown M87 isn't too expensive; just throw a nice boosted EJ257 back in there.
