997 and New Boxster Pictures! - in the flesh!

[v15ben]

Just a quick couple of pics of the 997 and the new boxster in the metal (in Nottingham)

Yep saw a demonstrator 997S at Lindbook in Tonbridge a week ago... definitely shades of 993 from the front, and whilst I really don't like the 996, the 997 could, at a push, do if I needed a newer car than the 993

Still looks a lot bigger than the 993 (is it? difficult to tell without figures).

Really not sold on those odd alloys that the S and Boxster S come with though... they actually look heavy (unlike the lovely slim 5 spoke jobs that 996s had) - anyone know why they look dodgy? Airflow etc. or are they just for 'style'

One thing though - a 997 RS or GT3 variant will look bloody fantastic, I can just imagine it

Yeh, I think it is quite a lot larger than a 993, but of course main dealers only have 996 and 997s in the showroom so I coulsn't tell!!!

The 997 is big in the flesh, the back end looks higher and longer than the 996 and it generally looks chunky. The new Boxster looks miles better than the old one, taut and muscular in the metal
