What are your thoughts on new Boxster S?

Being that it now has the same 3.4l engine @ 295 ponies as the CS. Awfully tempting if you're looking for a convertible I would think. I know this is semi OT but still related to the Cayman IMHO. I tried searching this topic but for some reason came up blank.

I'm very curious as to the opinions of people here.

Love it...if I wanted a soft top.

I moved this to off-topic because there have been 2 very extensive topic threads in the past related to the Boxster getting the Cayman engine and what people thought about it. Please try searching again.

Speaking of which my understanding is Porsche also offers a removable aluminum hard top for the Boxster. Unfortunately not an electric folding type like on the MB SLK series for example. I'm not a huge fan of soft tops, but damn that could be some fun with the top down!

Thanks K-Man, I'll check those out. I did find one of the threads you were referring to.

Now that's funny.
