Press Release:
Strictly speaking, black isn’t a color at all. It is, in fact, the absence of all color, of light and, indeed, of anything else. Black does not reveal all, but keeps the most important things under wraps. It has an allure epitomized by the legendary ‘little black dress’. Quite simply, it symbolizes the power of attraction. Classically seductive. From head to toe, through and through, inside and out. The PORSCHE Boxster S Black Edition.
I never really liked black on a car, especially luxury sports cars. It just diminishes the visual effects of the beautiful lines and dulls the impression it leaves on the onlooker. There's so many other discreet, subtle colors to select from that I don't see myself ever opting for a black car unless I'm in a situation where I wish to pass as incognito as possible, and that would mean that the car itself would have to be as far from a luxury car as possible
.
but it's apparently a pain in the rear end to keep clean. I just couldn't opt for something that would mean I'd have to put in X times more work into maintaining it to look appropriate.

. The new Cayenne is a perfectly fine looking SUV, though I'm not crazy about SUVs in general. It looks better than a number of Porsche's cars that's for sure. Among SUVs I'm fond of the sharp looks of the new Mercedes GLK!
is kinda silly, there is nothing exclusive about it. Its just really a option package that most would go for anyway. Seems like Porsche is milking the 997 cow dry before the 991
A great car that Porsche made a while ago was the Porsche Cayman Porsche Design Edition 1.
That would've been a great car for you...
I completely concur about the handling; power is one thing, but handling is just so much more important as it keeps all the fun together.
Porsche BLACK EDITION

Stylish seduction. The scene is set by designers and interpreted by engineers. 320 hp – 10 hp more than the Boxster S – plus a comprehensive range of standard equipment with an appealing blend of design and comfort. In a limited edition run of 987 vehicles. Another way to stand out from the crowd.
Honestly,

re: Honestly
What do you think of the Matte/Primer/Flat Black color? I think that's a cool on a sports car.

I think so too....

By the way,
don't know if you've seen it, but Beckham just got a brand new Camaro in matte gray and it definitely looks excellent!
I always thought the boxster was lacking
in power, personally im a V8 fan. Nothing like a big mostrous engine that roars when you step on the gas

It's because of....
Lack of power due to the fact that Porsche doesn't want to take away from the 911 sales. On the company saving 986, people were swapping out and installing 996 engines (reversed position). Marwan, what do you think of the Panamera?

the panamera
I like the front, but the back... it makes it look like a station wagon. if it had a more conventional sedan look it would have been nicer
I generally dont like porsche designs, it feels like every thing is a 911 only morphed in some way, even the cayenne
personally if i had to pick a luxury sedan Id go for the S class or the new jaguar XJ (i think its called XJ), as for sports sedans deffinately the maserati. But as an all time favourite 4 door is the mercedes C63, I like its small size and the engine sounds amazing. I dont really care about how fast a car is, because im a terrible driver, and I get a panic attack when im stuck in traffic and surrounded by big SUVs. I use to drive an Escalade, Im sad to say that the front headlights were completely smashed and the side doors were all scratched after I drove it for a month

Nice looking car :-)
This is what Porsche means to me , the Boxter doesn't quite capture that feeling

Nice, I've been thinking about a new car lately
Maybe if they made an all black Cayman? That would be awesome.
I agree with the comments about more power, but the handling is superb on the Porsche.

Believe it or not....
I like normally aspirated sports cars so 997TT is out of the question. As for the GT3, I hate, absolute hate any cars with the rice rocket looking huge rear spoiler
Most people would think I'm odd when I say this but I really do like the way the Porsche Cayman looks and IMHO it's curves are nicer than the 911.
