Perfectlap, I haven't read that test - was it between the 987 Boxster Spyder and Cayman R? In any event, in early tests of the new Cayman, Porsche has been claiming superior handling and note that the torsional rigidity is something on the order of 50% higher (or some incredible number) compared to the new Boxster. I can't honestly say that I have read a back to back test between the two (nor have I driven the new Cayman). If you are right, then it just makes Porsche's marketing even more cynical (if not downright dishonest).
And Woodsman, I love both cars as well - alhough I still prefer the front styling of the 981 Boxster to the 981 Cayman. Even if others prefer the front styling of the Cayman, again, does it justify a significant price inrease for the Cayman over the Boxster? Or is it, as I suggest, change for the sake of change in order to market them as different cars?
