New Boxster looks great!
Discussion
I'm really struggling to believe that this is the real deal.
It certainly appears to be something that Porsche themselves have built but I just get the impression that it's there to test ideas in a customer clinic or whatever they call them these days.
Perhaps these shots have been leaked and we are that clinic?
What normally happens next is that the design is watered down so that the masses on ph can extract the proverbial from the much berated Porsche design team who are invariably accused of sleeping on the job and not actually offering us a new product.
If so... Porsche, please do not built it like that! IMO, the doors and 'rear element' are way over done. Stick to what you know works and continue the evolution à la 991.
I am already quite excited about this mule..

Can't believe the criticism, looks like a nice update to a Boxster to me. What's all this Toyota nonsense about 
as you said...nonsense, especially because the MR2 was heavily inspired by the first boxster.I think this new version is great. less fussy than the latest restyled ones ad very modern. a proper small sportscar.

Agree with both point but on the first, can we be sure that these are recent shots from a reliable source or are they just recently leaked?On your second point, of course some parts appear identical as this 'mule' has been built up from parts on the shelf / in development.
When l look at the rear spolier on the black mule, it looks new (i.e. not 987) but not at all like the one on the silver car...
second look and not a fan of the rear lights.imo the side scoops are there to allow for the turbo model when it comes.the photo looks too polished for a real picture(note the male model driver)but it is most likely the real deal to stir up interest before release at the end of the year.

Now that I've got over my initial reaction of "WANT!" -- I still do want one -- I have to agree with cmoose. It just looks right, the 991 wheels, the bits of the interior you can see, the spoiler, the bootlid lettering, the lights...I can also see the mk3 MR2 in the vent.
