The new 2013 Porsche Boxster features a new design, and while it's quite attractive and a great update to the iconic Boxster style, it does look a little familiar to my eye... what it is? Somehow it looks like it may have borrowed a few styling cues from... the lowly Toyota MR2 Spyder?

What, you don't see it? In the shape of the doors and side vents, and in the shape of the headlights? Maybe it's just derived from the common shapes that all mid-engine sports cars tend to share. Or maybe it's an attempt on my part to justify somehow keeping my little MR2 instead of trading it in for a
sexy, newer model like the Toyobaru. Certainly as more of the new Boxsters start to hit the streets, my MR2 will look a little less passé.
