2013 Porsche Boxster
Looks better than the new 911, IMO. And the interior also gets the Panamera treatment.

Just the Facts:
-The third-generation Porsche Boxster and Boxster S go on sale in Europe in April.
-The 2013 Boxster and Boxster S get new sheet metal and more powerful engines.
-Both engines are expected to return better fuel economy.
The standard 2013 Boxster gets a 2.7-liter flat-6 to replace the previous 2.9-liter unit, with output rising from 255 to 261 horsepower. Output on the 3.4-liter six in the Boxster S is nudged slightly from 310 to 311 hp. Porsche says the standard Boxster will accelerate from zero to 60 in less than 5.7 seconds, while the Boxster S will perform the same function in less than 5.0 seconds. The optional Sport Chrono package provides even better performance and driving dynamics.

I've always loved how the Boxster/Cayman look, and I really love the look of this new Boxster. The front reminds me of the Carrera GT.
Unfortunately:
Ugh. Reviewers have panned the new electrohyraulic system on the 991, with one of the evo guys going as far as to say the FT-86 offers better steering feel. Guess I have to get a 987.2 Cayman R or something if I go this route. 
Unfortunately:
... as well as a new electromechanical power steering system.

Materials or design? I think the design of the interiors suck. Do not like the design in pics in the thread, looks dated.

Love the redesign. Sleek, flowing, elegant, and sporty all done with taste and restrain. If I were in the market, this would be at the top of my list. Also think the base price is a bargain.

On topic: Boxster cost you a lot of money but it doesn't get you a lot of a car. Same story with Z4, SLK, etc they are all at least 10K overpriced.
