Unfortunately, that means it won't be what the next Boxster looks like. Porsche has trapped themselves into the need to dumb-down their non-911 product to continue justifying the 911's existence. So you get cars that handle wonderfully, but are neutered to keep them slower. And you get cars that get a couple beatings with the ugly stick (Boxster) so nobody ever doubts that you were just a little to cheap/poor to spring for the big dog. Looks very nice.

The car seems to have just the right balance and flows with a better oriented slightly more squat and sleeper aggressive stance. I do agree with both comments above, but those observations are quite minor compared with the overall improvement to what is now a tired and otherwise wholly unremarkable design.

Just make the bumper grilles "smile" a little less and you have a great evolution of the Porsche brand. I love it.

The look is a bit too "butch" actually, while I think the current design is not quite right (those crappy side vents just look horrible), but I am not convinced by this chop either.
