Caymen S - 986 Forum - The Community for Porsche Boxster & Cayman Owners

but i would trade my box for a 993 or a 996 in a heartbeat. For no other reason than i fell in love with Carreras when I was young, and it is still what I am working toward. Box's may be technically more balanced, etc, but i dont care.

Plus, I would rather have the rear jump seat than a rear trunk -- for what I carry, it would be more convenient.

For some reason everyone thinks inside the box of Cayman buyers. I see that the main target buyer will be new pcar buyers. I believe the Cayman will not take away 911 and boxster sales as you think. In fact, I believe it it aimed to take away sales from vette, nsx, m3, and slk 55amg owners. Come on guys, you can't think that the intent was to take away internal sales!!

I would not agree with the above.

I don't see a vette or M3 buyer switcing to the Cayman. Could be wrong but the cars are (IMHO) very very different.

One point, the interior of the Cayman will be TINY vs the interiors of the other two cars.

I just predict a very slow sales record for the Cayman.
