I definitely wouldn't be so pro-Boxster if we were talking about the old model. I think the new one is much more desirable.
Still a soft-top, which I know a lot of you E89 guys don't like (and i understand why) but for me I like the soft-top - it's a more authentic Roadster and it's a lot lighter too. The major difference now though is that it finally has the looks as well as the performance and the interior is vastly improved too.
