Does anyone know if this is actually true? I think they look pretty close to the same. I guess the Cayman may look a bit more curvy but that seems to be an optical illusion because of the way the top comes down.

Just wondering if anyone knew if the Cayman actually has higher hips.

BTW-Your Box looks mighy fine.

Nice wheels.

Here is a quick look I put together showing the Boxster and Cayman together. Hips look pretty similar to me.

Anyone else notice how the spoiler makes the "hips" on jdak's "turbo" look smaller???

Are 987 hips > 986 hips?

By the way -- I gotta have those wheels...
