Convertible Cayman?

isn't that a Boxster?

Interesting ^ about those inventories, many in the Pcar community were
saying a Cayman made no sense and it was "unexplainable hype" and strictly a one off. But maybe people really think a 911 is now TOO much dinero for the power and styling are pulling the trigger on the Cayman (still very expensive for 300HP) but not as painfull as getting smoked in a 911 by a $25K cheaper ZO6!
Also, $100K for a sports car use to be truly exotic car territory and only the 911 Turbo could command that 'exotic' title. Personally if I had $100K to drop on a sports car, a fully optioned standard/S Carrera would NOT be on the top of my list. Really, they're not that uncommon nowadays..

As for CaymanS, Since it came out I have seen so many articles where 'seasoned' autor journalists call the Cayman nothing more than a stepping stone to the 911 without a single mention that it is a better handling and responsive car. No mention to the mid engine layout, and no mention to the eagerness by purist enthusiast Porsche community for the Cayman. Are the journos really that stupid or is there some kind of wink wink going between Porsche and the media?
