Why else does it exist? If you're not going to the track, spend the marginal difference and get a Carrera coupe, or save some money and get a Boxster convertible.
But it's got good looks. Really good, IMHO.
Pause. Wipe drool. OK, all done.

Why not just go for the Carrera?
Well that's assuming the Carrera owner finds the driving characteristics of his car similar to a shorter wheel base, mid engine, better handling coupe.
Excellence seems to disagree reporting that the CaymanS is far better a handling car than lower Carreras going as far to say that it might be the best handling Porsche (under $100,000) ever.
and saving money should never be the rationale for opting for Boxster over a Cayman. I think thats sort of like saying "save some money on that 7 series BMW and buy an X5 instead". two cars with different purposes.
But I agree the CaymanS is built for performance first, Backseat passenger considerations fall to the Carrera.
THe CaymanS is a car for a purist. Too bad we'll never see a turbo engine in one those.
