Finally!

a Boxster coupe is what a very small but ravenous group of enthusiasts have been waiting for since 1997.

The car will far more rigid than any Boxster which in terms of performance can't be underestimated. Imagine your Boxster without the cowl shake and flexing (very little though compared to other drop tops).

Tuners will snatch up the Base Caymans and go to town with this car. Rip out the engine drop in a big-ole 3.8 or maybe add some forced induction, rip out the interior add some carbon doors, trunk lids, Ceramic brakes, and look out!

In the second hand market a Base Cayman will do even better than a CaymanS.
Surely they won't produce too many of these which will keep supply down and demmand up. A very good situation to be in as a 2nd owner once the 4 year depreciation has set in.

I use to drive a Miata and with the Hardtop on it was a great driving experience.
Super loud, ultra tossable, and very responsive in the throttle department.
With a lowered suspension and a 13lb. set of wheels on Falken Azenis = a small coupe that is a blast to drive. Looks nicer with the top on too!
