I've always loved mid-engine cars and especially Porsche cars. I love my 914, but I've never been all that taken by the Boxster.
So yesterday at Barnes & Noble I see a Cayman S in "Porsche & 911 World", and I'm smitten. I don't know if I will ever manage to afford one, but it is everything I could want in the car of my dreams. I just drool looking at the images of it.

from a 90 degree angle, that thing looks like ass, but from 1/4 views, it's ass looks great!

I love em'. But I'd probably save $20k and get a Lotus.

Can't say it blows my skirt up...
the side intakes looks horrible, like they've glued on a hockey stick to the sill.
...probably look better in the flesh

The new Cayman S embodies dynamism in the purest form. It signals permanent rediness for action. And it posseses the kind of agility only a mid-engine vehicle can. The lineage of the Cayman S includes names of great reknown. The legendary 1953 Porsche 550 Coupe. And the perfectly shaped 1964 Porsche 904 Carrera GTS Coupe. With these two-seater mid-engine sports coupés, Porsche wrote design and motor-sports history |
i love the look of the cayman....i think its absolutely beautiful...
and no, its not a direct contender with the elise, but it still is the small sports car that porsche is building

The Elise base price is $42k the new hard top is more than that. That is getting pretty close to the little croc's price range. And I bet that the Porsche is much eaiser to live with day to day, IMHO. Personally, I like the Cayman, but I can't afford one.

My Elise was $50+ with all the options. And it is easily the least practical car around, though I did make it from Columbus to San Francisco in 47 hours. For a daily driver I'd probably take the gator's refinement as well wotrth the extra $8k. For a plaything ELISE ANY DAY!
