Cayman comes tomorrow!
Ok...calm down, it's only the one I've hired for my girlfriend so we'll be giving it back on Monday. But I thought I'd share my excitement with you all! Hopefully good weather and can't wait. Will get some good pics hopefully and will give full feedback on comparison with the old beast (that's the 964, not the girlfriend 
) next week.

Let us know. I recently drove a new Boxster while the 996TT was in service. It was a sweet ride. Nice handling, great exhaust note, very good interior, etc. I was very impress with the changes. I am guessing that the Cayman should be even sweeter with that rigid body.
But I have to be honest... after I got the 996TT I am even more appreciative of the 964. The driver involvement in the 964 makes it fun car to drive, and my favorite driver of the two.
Would be nice to get your feedback on how they compare as I felt the feel of the Boxster was closer to what the 964 provides. I am still not happy with the engine and tranny as far as not being tied back to the Porsche racing heritage like the 911TT/GT3/GT2 but that aside, it felt good.

Now, come, come....who exactly is this present for? Why do I get the feeling that Kusee's GF doesn't know the difference between a Porsche and a potato?! :P
(Have fun tomorrow Kusee!)

Not trying to hijack your post but.........
Had the privaledge to take a Cayman S for a rip 3 months ago. Pretty cool. Suprisingly quick. Especially when down shifting on the highway.Nice rear wheel well bulges in the mirrors. this is definatley NOT anything like a Boxster. Totally differnt feel. Don't like all the driver assist stuff though. I like my old school 964.
