I like the classics on that car. I want to see a Cayman with painted wheels!

Tino,

That would be Riverhead Porsche.

I live just south of Riverhead.

Where are you located?

I'm in L.A.; funny that Riverhead shows only the one Silver/Black car in their inventory.

I love the Cayman I just wish that they would get away from the styling of the 911. Not saying that I dont like the style of the 911 I do. In fact I love it. I just think that every new Porsche, including the Cayenne, has the same front end more or less as the 911. It is killing the awww factor for seeing a 911 on the road. I just wish they would go back to the styling concepts of the 80's with the 928, 924, 944, and then the 911. You could not mistake any one of these cars for one of the other.

Maybe Porsche is showing their insecurity over the past. But I agree. They've taken on a Dodge/Chrysler - yes, Harley - approach to "new" styling. As time passes, it makes a 914 more desirable than a Boxster. IMO

It's a tough balance to design "different" cars but still keep them looking like they're of the same family. Some of you may not like it (or them), but I like the idea that every Porsche looks "like a Porsche". ..if that means they look "like a 911", then so be it. They're damn beautiful cars. (..well, 'cept for the Cayenne. )

I'm not a fan of 19" wheels on a sports car. It loses cred. I like to see more rubber than alu.
The back and side is still very Porsche in feel. It can stand to sit lower for sure.

Now that front end.....I applaud them for trying something radically different but ...
Looks like a cross between a VW beetle and Mazda RX8.
I think I was one of the few people who really liked the 996/986 fried egg look when it first emerged and I think its one of the best designs ever from Porsche (928 as well).
Its hard to do something new that will still look nothing like the designs from Japan.
I would have prefered to see the turbo headlights from the 911 tweaked somehow and worked into the Cayman. My Boxster with GT3 bumper looks more agressive than this Porsche "RS,CGT aside, the best handling ever" as Excellence recently opined.

Now if only they (and every other auto maker) could get rid of the cheap painted plastic surfaces on the interior, than it might look like a $60K+ car.
