Quote from Automobile Mag regarding Cayman vs. 911
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
The Cayman is EVERYTHING THE 911 HAS NOT BEEN for most of it's career : SUPER-STABLE, CONFIDENCE-INSPSPIRING, TOTALLY BALANCED, quite forgiving, a gifted story-teller that is equally good at listening. . . . The Cayman confirms the theory that the Boxster platform is an all-time masterpiece. The coupe certainly feels more solid than a Boxster, like a jigsaw composed from fewer parts, and it is more balanced than the 911. It is also less of a challenge to drive hard than the rear-engined supercar, so you can see why Porsche chairman Wendlin Wiedeking doesn't want to give it any more power . . . it's patently obvious that this car could easily cope with an extra 100 more hp. . . . . .

With apologies if it is taken to mean that the 911 isn't nice looking but I can ignore 911s very easily. For some reason around here, the 911 has become the status symbol of choice (hey, with more bimmers than Toyotas it was bound to happen) and while I still think the 911 is handsome it may have stayed at the party too long. The Cayman has me thinking there may be another Porsche in my future. I like it better than the 911. Whether it lives up to all the press when it is here for real will be interesting.
