Autocar on The Porsche Boxster S 
"The Porsche Boxster S is an astonishing car. Faster than ever but just as capable on the handling front."
Autocar on The Porsche Boxster S
Autocar's Greg Kable notes its the most complete model Porsche produces.
The new Porsche Boxster – codenamed 981 – represents a clear break from the past. A combination of new detailing, a more cab forward silhouette, larger wheel houses (to accept optional 20-inch wheels), distinctive air vents and a rear wing integrated into the tail lamps give the new Boxster a more striking appearance than ever. New underpinnings boasting wider tracks and longer wheelbase provides it with a more confidence stance.
Its mid-engined layout remains, but it retains its architectural links with the latest 911. Porsche wants models to have as much commonality as possible.
Underneath its new lightweight body, the thoroughly re-engineered roadster shares much of its front end structure with the 911, including its MacPherson strut front suspension and all-new electro-mechanical steering.

To me the curves and design details of the 981 Boxster are so much more attractive than the 991 Carrera. This car is going to get more of the attention and respect it deserves. Let's see how the 981 Cayman comes out and whether Porsche launches a WB 991...but for now, I'm more interested in the new Boxster S than the Carrera S, even given the power differential.
