Boxster Coupe?

Is it true that Porsche is coming up with the Boxster Coupe in 2007?

Talking

Yes I have seen some spy photos. I think it will look very much like a smaller carrera coupe.

Could be very cool.

Cool I can't wait. The name "Cayman" doesn't sound too cool though, and I hope its priced similarly to the Boxster.

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!

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.
