The first model of the Cayenne was the "S", then came the Turbo, then the "standard" Cayenne with the V6.
So maybe we will be treated to a Cayman Turbo a few years down the road, followed by the standard Cayman, with the 2.7 Boxster motor?
I suspect our beloved Box will remain the entry-level Porsche, but 911 buyers had better brace themselves for some hefty price increases, to put a little distance between it and the $65K Cayman (S).
It is always comforting to know that Porsche continues to set profitability records, year after year.

I found this with a Yahoo search on "Porsche Cayman S" this morning. I think this is an official pick, but not sure. It sure looks like a 911.

I know what you mean. If it wasn't for the intake grill on the side, I would've thought I was looking at a 911.

I would anticipate doing the 0-60 in 4.9-5sec or lower not by much. The 987 S is 5.1 secs. then the top speed is has to break the 170 mph. What do you think? I still prefer the convertible. My opinion is that the engine eventually will find itself in the 987.

If the cayman comes with an optional 3.4L and the option is not offered for the boxster, Porsche will definately hear about it from disgruntled boxster enthusiasists.

It Still Is A Hardtop!!!

I don't know about the rest of you guys, but when I went looking for my Boxster, the caymen would never have been a consideration because it's not a convertible!!!! The two cars simply can't be compared...I'll take 0-60 in 5 1/2 (or whatever) seconds and go cart-like drives up to Skyline Blvd with the top down anyday over 0-60 in 5 seconds in a hardtop.
