Boy, the Germans are an arrogant lot!


I don't disagree but the Caymen is building a reputation as the best handling sports car around at any price...

As some have noted, it would seem that Porsche is attempting to build another product line with the Cayman. Not just a Boxster Coupe, but a whole new car. More expensive? Sure, but it's a different car!
Maybe they will come out with a Cabriolet version. With the appropriate premium for the droptop.

Maybe just raise the Boxster price point 8-10k and call it a Cayman.

"Sure, but it's a different car!"

How is it a different car? If they take the roof off of it, is it not a Boxster?
