I'd pay 45G's for one in a heartbeat. I went shopping for one and left the dealer unimpressed. At the end of the day you are paying more for a coupe over a boxter, the options add up super quick and bring the price so close to the 911 that you're better off just going with the cars big brother. At the end of the day this car as a light weight track car with decent power and a mid 40's sticker price would be all over the place. At 65-70k they'll sit on the dealers lot quite a while.

That is kind of surprising after the reviews I have read. Many reviewers said it's a more fun drive than a 911! Personally, I love the styling of it, I think it looks nicer than a 911.

Half the car for half the money... makes sense no?

i start to see more cayman on the road. seriously, it's probably personal, but i don't care about its performance coz' i dont' think it looks good at all. the "lengthen" rear end of the car makes the car looks pretty weird imho.
but boy, it does seems like a bargain comparing to the hot selling 911

cayman S is such a nice car
but it really is a bit overpriced right now
if anyone is interested in getting one, i recommend waiting a couple of years when used ones hit the market

But looking straight on the front & the rear of the Cayman, I like it better than the 997, the 997 looks too played out from those angles, the Cayman look is more refreshing.

Porsche was really dumb making this car more expensive than the already expensive Boxster. What they should have done was priced it lower than the Boxster like all coupes usually are, and then this car would have sold like hotcakes. Can you imagine? It would sell UNBELIEVEABLY well.
