The market for the Caymen will be people like the one I bought my Boxster S from. He wanted the mid engine performance of the Boxster and could care less about the covertable top. In 2 years of ownership I think he said he drove with the top down 3 times.

What he was looking for was a great handling car that had room for him and his wife with their golf bags (or whatever they needed to carry for their weekends away).

Not exactly the demographic of the people on this forum but certainly the target market for the Caymen, someone who wants the performance, needs a bit more room for luggage, doesn't want a convertable and doesn't have $80K to spend. They should be able to sell as many as they care to import IMHO.
