all available options like 19" Sport wheels, Bose system & Sport Chrono Pkg.
I am pretty sure it has Xenons and sport steering wheel. No PCCB.

sounds like a decent deal, not good, but not bad either.
these cars are like 944's, they have the poor man's porsche stigma (hey i can say it, i am a cayman die hard ;-) wait another 12-18 months, they will drop like boxster did.

I am still disappointed in the lack of any shades of green offered.

I saw a 997C4S at the Detroit auto show in a wild mega-metallic black with metallic clear coat, but cannot remember the exact color name. It was one of those colors that would look wicked on anything.

Yes!

Then why haven't I seen any on the road... oh that's right I live in a boring city. There is a local Cobalt Blue S at least.

Off to the internet, I feel a deep need for a forest green Cayman background now.

Thanks mooty!

ppl are too worried about resale value as you know deep green fell out of favor 10 years ago (the general trend that is, you obviously is still in love with it and that's great). i would take bright orange or put on your sunglasses green.

No, sorry Speedgelb is the colour to have - if not, then red or cobalt blue.

White is OK but I'd feel forced to put race numbers on it then.
(p.s. - isn't that a photo of a white Caymann I posted some time ago? I think it is still for sale in Mannheim)

Someone on the CaymanClub forum did a whole range of colours using photoshop, all of which proves how rubbish the current range of colours on offer from Porsche is. Here are a few samples ...
