When I was up at Road America for ALMS, I picked up an entry blank. I'd probably have to sell the car just to afford the taxes on it, and it would cost more to insure than my three current vehicles combined, so I decided it probably wasn't worth the effort.

Everything I've read leads me to believe that the Cayman S is a great car. I'd love to have one ....
Why the hostility?

I also like the Caymen but it will be many moons before I can afford one. I think it is just Friday and everyone is grumpy waiting for beer-thirty.

I would love a Caymen for $30,000.00 so for $50.00 this is the deal of the century. I don't understand the hostility towards Porsche on this forum? They can't build air cooled cars any more guys and I'm a air cooled owner !

I saw one of those new BMW M coupes the other day, I'd take that over a Cayman any day. Based on looks alone.

The Cayman S is a sexy looking beast out on the street though. They realy pulled a styling winner.

I'm less concerned about what it looks like than I am about how quick it is. Just based on automotive theory, a mid-engine RWD car should have awesome handling. Add Porsche's reputation for brilliant engineering and you have the makings of a real winner. The reviews that I've read support that, so far -- a car that handles better than anything they've built yet, with enough power to be a real experience to drive.
So who cares what it looks like?

Personally I'm way past worrying about what other people think, it's pitiful way to live your life IMHO. If it is fun to drive and puts a smile on my face and I can afford it I will buy it. The Boxster is the natural progressing of the 550 spyder... I sure wouldn't mind driving one of those!

I sat in one at the German autofest in Ventura last year and had the exact same impression. The lady I was with looked at the expression on my face and said "why don't you just buy one and get it over with"
