I like the side air intake gills. Also noted the use of the yellow caliper covers.
Good lines overall...wonder when we'll see road test results.

no these photos are in Germany.
The LA sightings haven't revealed any pics yet. If you live near Westwood keep your digital camera handy if they haven't already finished shooting the commercial.

Uuhhhhhh, well it's a COUPE. Coupes have fixed roofs. They are more rigid structurally than roadsters, and they also weigh less becuase roadsters need additional bracing to reduce cowel shake, among other things. Therefore, coupes handle better on the track than roadsters. Plus, some of us don't like being bleached by the hot sun all day. And don't forget the Cayman S has 295 hp.

I agree- It was only on certain occasions that I really enjoyed the conv. of the boxster that I recently sold- maybe because mine was triple black and was really hot most of the time!  I loved my boxster but I think I will love my new Cayman more with the extra power that I think we all know that the boxster deserves and can easily handle! We will see- my local dealer is telling me that I am looking at a march - april delivery and I think that is going to be a very long wait....

Of couse, in this case, the coupe weighs a bit more than the roadster.

I just got done reading about the car in the latest Autoweek(Cayman S). Porsche claims a top speed of 171mph and a 0-62mph time of 5.3 sec. These figures seem a tad conservative(particularly the 0-62 time seeing that a 987 S will do 0-60 in 5 flat). Strangely enough, the Cayman S weighs 11lbs more than a 987 Boxster S. They attributed this somewhat to the large rear hatch with the big plate of glass. Also, the Cayman S has the 3.4L engine so the car is probably beefed up more in certain places.

Love the new design. The retro theme on the Carrera GTS is obvious as per the website intro. Its a shame they didnt go for the top down option such as the SLK or the new Lexus with the 3 part folding tin top, but still a great looking car.
I believe the opening price in Australia is around the $160,000 mark which puts it line ball with the new Boxster S at around $152,000.
Going to be very interesting where this sits in the market and with enthusiasts.

The 911 is a fine car and I don't see it going anywhere. There is plenty of room in the line for these cars; Zealots are each side are .......well, zealous!
Horses for courses!

well its like when the airforce retired the Blackbird.
It was still the fastest plane to cross the country but time to move on.
Either Porsha will unleash the Cayman on the racing scene and potentialy upstage the 911 or ....
