Almost as many Caymans sold as Cayennes

Wow.

If a late model Porsche is "not it" what the hell could a person be searching for?

Well, that is the point. Some of these folks never find IT and for some, it is simply not a Porsche.

One man's loss, another man's gain, the way I see it. Somebody will get a new car for some degree of discounted price.

I asked my mechanic's opinion of the new Cayman S and he said, "It's got so much engine noise inside the car that I'm afraid I wouldn't enjoy driving it every day."

So how about it, Cayman owners? Is the interior noise level--albeit a beautiful sound--so loud that one might think twice about owning one as a daily driver?

How about the heat buildup in the car from the engine? I would imagine that would be a bother on a long road trip as well... it certainly gets a little warm in back of the boxster on long trips with the top up or down.

When I test drove the Cayman S I found the noise to be just as loud but on a sweeter note than my 2.7, so I think I might enjoy the sound more, particularly at low revs where the noise eventually grates on me (top down I don't mind).

So the mystery is solved on this one. I stopped by the Honda dealership to make inquiries and it turns out one of the salesman just purchased the Cayman S, and has the Honda plates on it in a bit of self-promotion.

Sorry to get everyone's panties in a twist over this one.
