CaymanS on the streets of LA - 986 Forum - The Community for Porsche Boxster & Cayman Owners

Love the new design. The retro theme on the Carrera GTS is obvious as per the website intro. Its a shame they didnt go for the top down option such as the SLK or the new Lexus with the 3 part folding tin top, but still a great looking car.

I believe the opening price in Australia is around the $160,000 mark which puts it line ball with the new Boxster S at around $152,000.

Going to be very interesting where this sits in the market and with enthusiasts.

tell your mates that this is the new 911.
Porsche have to retire that dinosaur at some point!

The 911 is a fine car and I don't see it going anywhere. There is plenty of room in the line for these cars; Zealots are each side are .......well, zealous!

Horses for courses!

well its like when the airforce retired the Blackbird.
It was still the fastest plane to cross the country but time to move on.
Either Porsha will unleash the Cayman on the racing scene and potentialy upstage the 911 or ....

on the street the CaymanS kinda looks like the Maserati GranSport
(my favourite coupe)

i know that car styling is a mater of personal taste, but i like the styliing of every porsche ever made over that of the maseratis...my neighbor has a gt coupe, and to me it looks like a cheap jap. car vs a n italian sports cars...maserati has a been a big failure for ferrari and they dont sell and depreciate like crazy mainly because most people dont like the looks
