Thanks adam, I dig that interior color.


but it's also a lightweight sportier version of the base car
Nope, not even that. It weights 1340 Kgs, 5 more than a Boxster, and 5 less than a Boxster S.

It's still faster tough, thanks to the better rigidity.

Porsche sure did a good job with this car in terms of marketing, but in terms of the product itself it doesn't surprise or appeal to me in any special way, like other Porsches do. And unfortunately, this money oriented fashion in Porsche doesn't seem to end. Because that's just what the Cayman is, if you ask me - a money maker product. They took an old product, gave it a roof, a slightly tweaked engine, a new name and a more expensive price. Simple way of making money, and I'm sure that the shareholders are happy with it.
