Still not liking it. Visually, the front and rear bumpers have this broad expanse to them that makes the car look heavy. It reminds me a bit of the 350Z in that area, but the Nissan was better proportioned. And I haven't liked the side intacts since the first 981 pics surfaced. I'm certain it's a great car, but it just doesn't look appealing. I'd get a used 997 turbo for my money.

I like it...

Me too Art. I'd buy one in a heartbeat.

I agree. I like the Boxster better.

Want.

me too.

pricing? I always wonder what could be purchased lightly used for the same money.

I agree with that too.

Being a board that is hosted on a DIY parts place's website, we are a tough crowd. We usually get to the cars when they are 10+ years old. At that time, I'd take a GT3 or Turbo 997.

Group buy:D

Base Boxsters start at $49,500
Base Carreras start at $82,100

So I'm going to guess that a base Cayman will be approx $65,800.

Just my WAG.

Yep, that's what I see also. Sticking with my boxster for now, but Possibly thinking of going to a newish z06 (2010+) or 2002-2004 911 Turbo.

Agreed. Too bulky.

Looks Japanese.

Agree completely. It's lost some of its voluptuousness, at least in photos.

My first thoughts too.

It's lost something, and it's gained something.

I'll have to see one in person to properly judge.

And every guy in a Japanese sports car would longingly look at your new Cayman and wish he could have one too.
:D

I think here is where this was posted first:

SPIED 981 Cayman First Photos - PRIOR to LA Auto Show -

Interesting point the guys there make is that some of the car is still disguised. Upon a closer look I agree. The rear and the front still will have stuff removed. Maybe it will help!?
