You have a point on the 911 coupe, which is a beauty to drive and look at. On the other hand, I am curious to see how this Box coupe will actually look. I just think of the Cayman islands when I hear this name and that doesn't do it for me.

I heard it was Porsches attempt to make a factory "hardtop" car to be raced in GT4 class.

If that is the case, they should just call it the "GT4" and put a GT4 badge on the back. I think Cayman sounds stupid also, and I would be shocked if that name is actually used. It doesnt make me want to go out and buy the car, however GT4 would get met at least thinking about it.

I agree cayman Gayman... I am sure this gayman will stick among the anti porsche a little bit like boxster is a poor mans porsche.. blah blah ect..
again you will hear this from people.. funny the people who say boxster is poor mans porsche dont seem to have a secure job, no income and a crap car....

I mean i just cant see anyone buying this when as stated above you can have a 911 for the same price.. a porsche without a softtop can ONLY be compensated by 400+bhp but i doubt that very much!

you either have a power house or a softtop, there is no middle ground with porsche or the FAMOUS porsche is about to enter the same ground as BMW with under powered hardtops that cling for life onto the porscha logo!

There is plans for a GT4 the year after the release of the new GT3, according to my sources.
