And why not? They're cool, I like them. I don't know any more about cars than I did yesterday, and I've taking your points into consideration before. But, I still love Caymans, and I still want one.

All I can say is the Boxster S kept up JUST FINE with the M the entire way up and even more so on the way down so again it might lack HP in comparison to an M3 or C6 but it is certainly not "slow." (And the 'Ring will favor a higher HP car like a 400hp C6 vs a 275hp CaymanS due to its lengthy straightaways)... Anyway, Endurance you claim the C6 and Z06 Corvette are the best cars in every respect - performance, looks and price. If a Corvette is TRULY so superior, then why can't you explain to me one simple thing: why do I have absolutely NO desire to drive or own one? Further, if it is the "best" car and is truly so superior, then how will other manufacturers stay in business? If what your saying was true, GM would be the only sports car manufacturer as according to you it makes the single best, cheapest, fastest and most attractive sports car. If one Bank "TRULY" offered the lowest mortgage rates, there'd be no need or demand for any other Lenders/Banks and the rest would all soon fail....so are saying GM will be the last sports car maker standing?? If that is the case in 5-10 years, it would be one hell of an irony! 1 of my friends drives an e46 M3 Coupe and another a Boxster S – this summer we took them both up to the local Mountain together which runs from 7000ft to 10000+ with wild turns etc just like any ski basin road.

C6R methinks? Maybe Porsche were better back then but not now. The Cayenne is ugly and the boxster is slow. The only good cars Porsche has is the Carrera GT, GT3, and Turbo...nothing else.

Also the standard corvette with the Z51 performance handling package is faster than the caymanS around the track(watch top gear anyone?). So in conclusion, not only is the corvette faster in a straight line, cheaper, better looking, but it also whoops the CaymanS around the track. I like Porsches, i just dont like the Cayman...its a joke, gap filler.

First of all, the Hardtop variant of ANY convertible is ALWAYS less gay than its droptop sister as the hardtop is for enthusiasts that appreciate less weight, better rigidity/handling and less "look at me." Secondly, the Cayman looks better and more aggressive to me than almost any 911(not including 997s). In fact, it reminds me of a 911 Turbo, a '92 Speedster, the Boxster/986 and Carrera GT all in one clean, smooth, unique package/shape. And if a Cayman S keeps up fine with a 997 around the Ring, I'm sure it would keep up with the fine e46 M3 as well...yes the new e92 M3 will have way more hp but as Noviscious pointed out, true sports cars are more about BALANCE than outright POWER (to me anyway)...

What is the point of a Cayman? A hard top Boxster? No doubt this car strikes a cord with Porsche-o-philes, it's a Porsche. It's nice looking, has decent performance, but nothing that would cause me to salivate. If I wanted German and performance, I would purchase the M3 versus this. Well, honestly….
