indeed, good point there about boxster as well. i always think it's overpriced and it's a bit "porsche wannabe" to me. i guess with the price range it has porsche is forced to price the cayman this way

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.
well, a car is about all angles. it's almost like the 3gs imho. from some angles theya re good, but from some, they are so weird

What he said. Cayman doens't look so good, particularly from side view. I've no doubt the drive is spectacular though.

997 S/4S = Getting there, much better looking than the 997. The 997S is "OK" ,The 4S is sweet
GT3 = Huge promise... now that is what a Porsche is all about
997 Turbo = See GT3 comments
Carrera GT = Extreme Sex on wheels
Best post I've ever read of yours Gene. 2 thumbs up, lol.
