Lots of them in the US have sold at the MSRP of $79k, so the 6 figure thing isn't totally accurate.

The Launch Edition has pretty much every option, not just a plaque. By the time I configure an SE how I want it'd be in between a base and an LE at around $70ish. There are some things I'd actually rather not have like the race suspension and a couple other things, but would want the leather trim and race exhaust for instance.

The trans is a dual clutch, not an auto, big difference. There is already a tuned one that has been running around with over 400hp from the 1.7L, so it seems pretty stout, and the 285hp tune should be a good mix of a load of fun and not on the edge of blowing up. (we'll have to see on this)

Of the reviews that I've read, the one I most identified with said something along the lines of "but I just don't actually *want* a Cayman". I've driven a Cayman GTS, it's neat, but I still don't really want one.

It's a bummer that it's not easier to drive one. If they sent a rental around and even charged $250-500 for a few track laps locally, I'd be willing to try it out. No good ways to test drive cars there are so few of. Even F360s have this issue, I may hate them too once actually driving one.
