This is nicely done IF you like the Cayman's lines. I am waiting to see one in the flesh but my initial take is negative.

I simply think the Cayman looks like Porsche decided to slap a coupe together and the box was waiting.

Since the Box ragtop looks SOOOOOOOO good, I am not a fan, yet.

However, if I were Porsche, this new top cited would REALLY upset me.

For folks who DO like the coupe look, this top seems like a real and less costly alternative.

Usually removable hardtops look pretty bad (see the 996 top for an example) but this is slick indeed.

I bet there are some embarrased designers at Porsche right now.

Good stuff.

I didn't see a price on that, did anyone else?
