Chris Harris’ video review of the new Porsche Boxster is finally edited and ready for our Wednesday night entertainment. The 981 Boxster tries to address all that was wrong with the old models, chief among which, according to Chris, being girly. It now a proper sports car for proper men. A fabulous design, a 991-like interior, and a brilliant engine. These ingredients are not stacking up for something disastrous. It’s a wonderful car.
Check out Chris as he heads to the Southern France to try the new Boxster out. Yes, there’s some sideways action in there. It’s Chris Harris, of course there is.
