Boxster Coupe?

[aglsteven]

I heard that Porsche has confirmed the name Cayman as the name for the new coupe. It will sit above the Boxster in terms of price, and will initially only be offered in the S version with 280PS.

From the pictures it looks fantastic, and shows another timeless design that won't age. If I lived in a colder climate, I would be seriously tempted, but living in Oz, means that the hood can stay down for most of the year!

Looks really nice

Assuming that is a real photo and not a photoshoped one, I am a little surprised with the way the top is. I would imagine this car is going to have crazy bad blind spots. I don’t know about you guys, but I can’t see anything out the side of my car when the top is up. This look like it is going to be just as bad. I would have thought that they would have put some glass triangles behind the seats to give better visibility.

a boxster coupe?? i dunno, isnt the idea of boxster with box engine and ster for roadster...
I never seen a coupe roadster before so how can it still have the name boxster or is caman the name or is cayman the nickname as i read it was just a nickname.

So it will be the 987 cayman?? who would buy a boxster coupe when you can have a 987 with a softtop???

also i see what you mean about the blind spots...

tut tut a boxster coupe .... talk about spinning the cash

what I hate most with this car is that it promotes the idea that the Boxster is the "little" Porsche...
Well, the Boxster is a roadster, not a little Porsche. Not a 911, a different product...\
But to put a roof back on the a roadster...that is....hmmh...questionnable...
On top of that, IMHO, that picture looks ugly....yawk...the 911 back is a billion times better...I can't imagine it will be that ugly....

AutoSpies.com has a pack of "spy" and "computer generated" coupe photos, including a opposite-lock, full drift one from AutoCar. Rumors say Cayman is the name, and the lineup will include a 300hp Club Sport version.
The Box coupe looks very 911-ish, and from what I have heard will carry a very 911-ish price tag as well.

QporscheQ, give this a try I bought it right away, its the only way to overtake on the highway ($20) I wish they made a passenger side mirror.
At night I look for headlights in the little mirror since its hard to see the car itself.
A must have.

The 987 coupe spy photo I saw in Excellence a few months ago seemed to have much more pronouced rear fender curves. The prototype was flat black and the wheels were also black. very sick.
