2007 changes

[Tool Pants]

Saw my first 2007 Boxster S 3.4 today at the local dealer.

For contributing members you can see the bulletin issued on August 2, 2006, which states that: "Effective immediately, option XCZ - Sport Shifter, is no longer available for factory installation." But then the bulletin goes on to state that the short shift will continue to be available as a Tequipment part.

But, the sport/short shift was listed on the sticker as a $765 option. I sat in the car and played around with the shift lever. It was a short shift. Then I looked at the sticker for the build month, which was July, so this car got built just under the wire.

The coolant tank in the rear trunk is gone. It is now like a Cayman with fill ports.

The dealer did not have any 2007 base Boxsters for me to look at.

That's a nice little improvement. I always like seeing how Porsche will refine things year-to-year.

So is the dealer doing any rides yet?

Did you manage to take a snap of the front end too? Ever since i saw the pic (below) off the website, i was interested to know where all the gubbins for satnav, CD changer and fluids now go.

Or, is this just a pic of car without the optional kit? :blink:

I did look in the front trunk of the 2007 987 and it looked no different than a 2006 987 or Cayman, so I did not take a picture.

I think your picture is a euro 997 something. C4 I would guess, but I have never seen a ROW car.

Yeah thats probably a bare bones ROW model. Row cars dont have the carbon canister box that US cars do, they have the same setup as the 9x6 cars with it in the passenger fender well.

Tidy!

Looks alot cleaner ;)

Much prefer that as I felt that all the plastic gubbins in my 987 was wasted space. Then I didn't have a CD changer etc.
