I posed that question to my favorite Porsche
salesperson recently and didn't get much of a response out of him. +$5K for the Cayman over the Boxster (base or S) is, IMV, an amazing marketing strategy. There those that want a mid-engine coupe and the Cayman will fill that need. I just can't think of any other car maker out their that charges a premium for a coupe; I'm guessing that the price differential willnarrow over time with either the prices of the respective cars moving north or south and the std. equipment changing to give the appearance of greater or less value.
Adding the 3.4L motor was a natural for the Boxster S, giving the new BMW products just released, but does mess with the viability of the Cayman S pricing. Then again, maybe their trying to just bump up the Boxster S sales--I think they were off for 06.
