For goodness sake Porsche....

Does anyone else think the new 718 Boxster looks like a god damn Fiat Barchetta? I cannot un see this

[Twinfan]

Ha ha, it does!!!

[bosshog]

yes I thought the same.

It's not a radical redesign from the 981. The usual front and rear bumper change with the front taking the usual reversal of the shape of the outgoing car's front air intakes and change of rear bumper and rear lights. The side skirt section of the body has an additional recessed surface along the bottom and the door handles have been changed. When you see them side by side I doubt the changes are going to be as drastic as some think.

I like the look overall.

Its the engine I am concerned about, but I will see how it drives before I judge. I havent a particular issue with a flat 4.

And here's the 718 Cayman.....

[MagicRat]

Wow, you people have sharp eyes. They look exactly the same to me as, apart from the rear grille, do the 991.1 and 991.2. They won't feel the same though, if the 911s are anything to go by.

I'm the first to accuse Porsche of lazy styling (they tend to facelift cars rather than re-design) but they don't look anything like each other...?? (the Porsche and the Fiat).

Made me chuckle

Apparently the only panels carried over from the 981 are the bonnet and boot lid.

The picture above makes the 718 look slightly longer and sleeker or this could just be my vision!!

I know it will be like comparing apples and pears but I was recently given the 2 litre 4 pot macan as a loan car and I was really surprised as it was a lot better than I was expecting!
