Laid eyes on a Cayman
Wow.
Amazing how pictures do not tell the whole story. It sits much lower than I expected. The pictures I have seen gave the impression that it has a high bubbly roofline, but that is not the case. The whole car is low and flat. I am sure the back end, with the huge flat back window, will either be a love/hate with folks. I vote LOVE. I am very impressed. What body part should I sell to get my hands on one?

We saw one, my wife said "Man that ass looks just like the back of that Chrysler thing."

Someone down my street just bought a black one. It's a beautiful car and I'm very tempted to order one. It's true that pictures just don't do it justice.

Depends if you think the Crossfire is knock-off of the traditional Porsche look I guess.

Saw one at a dealership. Absolutely gorgeous. The thing has a presence that the Boxster sorely lacks.

I was very skeptical about this car.....no more. Admittedly, I have not driven it, but boys a Top Gear seem to like it.

Often times pictures don't do a car justice, I hoped this would be one of those times. Have to swing by the local dealer and see if they have any. C&D just ranked it above of an Exige, pretty lofty praise.

That's very encouraging. All of the driving reviews I've found have been over-the-top as well. I may have found My Next Porsche...
(And they only want, what, $60K?)
