Sorry if this has been asked before but has there been any news on a new Boxster?? (not just one with a few updates!) And if so, are dealers taking orders?

Rumour has it that the 2005 model year will feature uprated power and a minor facelift. Your guess is as good as mine at the moment. My dealer wasn't talking last time I asked - partly because I gave him my telephone number and said if there's a Turbo in it and 320bhp + he'd have my deposit inside three minutes.

Rumour has it that a whole new Boxster will debut September 05 (MY06). This is from a reliable source on www.boxa.net/forum

Cool...any details? So long as Porsche don't mess it up with any Chassis "upgrades" that aren't (not likely now is it) it should make for an exciting release.

Do you remember the 968 vs 944 "Long Live The Evolution" ads etc..I suspect that a "new" Boxster won't be that radical a departure from the existing beast. After all - if it ain't broke there's no need to fix it and it still sells well, I believe.

Still - they can't let it date either - so - looking forward to hearing all about it!

Not much more information I'm afraid, another bit of info, Porsche are looking to release a limited edition James Dean Boxster with different wheels, bumper, speed humps etc..sounds a bit tacky if you ask me.
