Just last weekend, I drove my wife through the local Porsche dealership and pointed out the Cayman and the Carrera, asked her which one. She said she liked the Carrera better.
Now we haven't gotten to price tags yet, I still gotta figure how to communicate that little detail.

Well I think that attempt to label the Cayman failed....
Here in Germany many consider the car too "sporting" meanind too hard suspension and too sharp responding for everyday use. This is not going to get it a "chick" car label.
However, that said, Caymen (or shoudl it be Caymans) are outselling Boxsters in several European countries. So someone likes them.
