Probably because it' the same as mine, except I ordered White and 20 inch Cayman S wheels. Total $73490. Picking it up June 10 in Stuttgart. I did not get the "S" because I simply don't need that much power/speed. I had a 2011 Carrera S that I just got rid of...it had way more power than one needs and the thrill is still there with any of the base models. I also drove a Boxster Base and it had plenty of power, speed, thrills. And with model designation delete and sport exhaust on the Cayman, who's gonna know!

Euro delivery will be a great experience. Enjoy!
think of considering a full leather interior or maybe even two tone leather. Adds a significant amount of quality interior touches to the car.

I only drove it for about 10 minutes so not much time to get a total feel for it. I took it through one pretty fast turn and it's perfectly steady much like other older Caymans I've driven and unlike my old 997S which always felt a little twitchy. The ride was pretty smooth considering the 20" wheels, much better than my old 997S. The test car only had a 100 miles on it and I couldn't bring myself to redlining it even though it wouldn't hurt a thing.
