Default Porsche Cayman S.....the hardtop Boxster coupe

There is already a thread here for the latest news on the regular Boxster, but I think this car is big enough news that it merits a whole new one.
The drop-top Boxster....in all of its versions.....already had superlative handling to start with, especially for a convertible. Common sense would dictate that stiffening up the body structure with a rigid hardtop will only make the handling that much better......without any cowl shake or flex.

Yeah, this car will be a press darling. As stated, the new Boxster is already loved. I wonder will it be lighter?

When is it supposed to debut?

The Cayman (man I wish they would get over these strange names) is a mid-engined vehicle similiar to the Boxster. This car has serious potential to bring in the 3series...of course they will never let the Cayman eclipse the 911.
