Exterior - What the Auto Press Says

Auto journalists admire the 2010 Boxster's sleek exterior design. It's available in two trims, the similarly styled base and S. Though an automatic convertible soft-top is standard, a removable hardtop is optional.

• "The ... Porsche Boxster sports car comes as either the basic Boxster or the massaged, pricier Boxster S. They are visually similar except for the additional center front grille opening, red brake calipers and dual exhaust outlets on the S." -- Edmunds
• "[T]he second generation Boxster has more curvature than its predecessor. The rear humps evoke athletic attributes, and the front columns have a livelier feel than the Porsche 986. The air inlet is also larger to accommodate cooling the engine during spirited driving. The front headlines have a distinct look. The car looks distinguished on its own right, unlike before - when it looked more like the 996 when on the road." -- Road & Travel Magazine
• "Rather than a hard tonneau that clamps down around the folded roof, as is the case with most competitors, Porsche devised a system that allows a panel of the roof to act as a tonneau, protecting the mechanical bits and pieces from being exposed to dust, dirt and whatever else could get in there to make a mess of things, and looking beautifully finished at the same time. I suppose it would be easier if there were no latch involved, but it's so easy to click into place that I can't see anyone complaining about it." -- Automobile.com
