I agree the 911 is a legendary brand.

But it can't go on in perpetuity. They've gone about as far as they can possibly go with the ages old 911.
Porsche must make plans for a new flag ship P-car. And I HIGHLY doubt it will be a rear engine configuration.
The Carerra GT was built for maximum performance as a dedicated racing car and
sure enough it wasn't rear engine like the SuperCup GT3 911's.

Will Porsche build yet another mid engine P-Car to replace the 911?
I really don't think they'll go through all the R&D to com up with another MR when the answer is right in front of them.

If the Cayman were just an experiment I think they would be pricing it much differently, it wouldn't be as expensive as a Standard Carrera!
They have big plans for this tweaked 'Boxster'.

Boy would I love to be a fly on the wall at Stugart Hdqt's.
