Cayman Brochure from Dealer
Well, finally did it. Got the Cayman Brochure from the local Palm Beach Dealer.
This car looks hot! Some of the detailing (such as the stiching along the instrument necelle) is gorgeous, and the exterior is VERY reminiscent of the 904. And when someone actually puts a 911 engine into that bad boy, it should be faster than the 997. Anyone order one yet?

We had our monthly PCA meeting on Monday and the local dealer rep brought several brochures, it was great to see the smiles from everyone as they flipped thru the pages this car is very nice looking!! And after looking at the interior it looks like Porsche will hit a homerun with this car. I guess the purists will nitpick it to death just like the Boxster but you can't please everybody. I personally can't buy a new one but a lease turn in may be 3 years down the road for me.

The brochures just came out and someone is already planning an engine swap. I like that

Does it have a designation number we can call it instead of the Cayman?

I wonder how roomy the interior is. I barely fit in an SC, anything tighter wouldn't work.

Definitely get PICS!!!
I'd run down to the Porsche dealer, but they'd probably turn their noses up at me because I'd drive up in a Hyundai. My dream is in 4-5 years, I'll be able to find a used Cayman... w00t!

I think I like it...but is it me, or is it reminiscent of an RX-8, at certain angles?

I got the brochure and showed the wife. She said "oh, I like that. Why don't you sell the Infiniti and order one?"
She's nuts - but in a good way! (We are in escrow for a new home. Nobody in this family is buying cars - let alone Porsche's - for a long while.)

Someone needs to tell that driver not to rest his foot on the brake pedal when driving
![]() I am on the wait list at a Porsche dealer for one of these..... Just not sure how I am going to pay for it when the time comes ![]() I can't wait. It looks like it will be a blast.... FYI- it is 4 seconds faster around the test track than the 997.

The roofline, quarter windows and rear haunches look fantastic.
Not crazy about the side vents though. They need a diffferent grille for them.

My SC, $10K, paid for.
The Cayman, $50K, a downpayment on a small house (not in CA). Sorry, I'll stay with my SC. The fact that it needs no water is just another plus.
