Maybe they buy the Cayman over the Boxster because (a) they like the styling and security better, (b) they live in a climate where it is either too hot or too cold for top-down driving all but a couple of times a year, (c) the person's spouse feels top-down driving messes up her hair, or (d) they feel that the convertible top will need replacement in a few years from all the chemicals, salt, cinders, and crap they put on the roads here. Oh, and maybe they didn't actually pay any premium over the Boxster model because maybe the dealer was overstocked with Caymans.
Maybe they bought the base model over the "S" because (a) the extra 0.8 second performance advantage to 60 mph wasn't worth the $10K premium, especially when driving on public highways, (b) they were happy with the performance of the base model, or (c) because nobody they know outside this forum knows the difference between a base model and an "S" anyway -- all the public knows is that it is a "Porsh."
