Maybe we're over-reaching. Could it simply be that there is a niche market for hardtop boxtsers? The sales numbers may be low, but the cost to adapt a box to a cayman is also low. Porsche normally does its homework - if they can invest a modest amount in development, sell enough to cover the costs and leave some profit on the table, and satisfy yet another constituancy - then it's a winner, even if the numbers are small. Plus any new model gets written up in the media = free advertising.
On a personal note, can't wait till there are 5-10 year old caymans to buy cheap and race, but that's just me.
Last - agree with the comment that it needs another name. Need a Name the Car contest. Feel free to submit -
