Default Cayman Convertible?

Found this on the M3 board!

PORSCHE TO LAUNCH CAYMAN CONVERTIBLE
No sooner has it launched the new Boxster, the 997-series 911 and that drizzle of vomit on the dress shirt of motoring that they call the Cayenne, than Porsche is set to expand its line up once more with a brand new convertible version of its recently launched Cayman coupe. Although the exciting new soft top is said to resemble its acclaimed fixed roof sister, Stuttgart sources say it will feature cosmetic difference to differentiate from all the other cars that Porsche makes that look quite similar. Performance-wise, the new car is expected to slot neatly into the Porsche range between the top of the Boxster, the middle of the Cayman and the bottom of the 911 range. "Just as the Cayman is more than a non-convertible Boxster, so this will be more than just a convertible Cayman," said a German man. "It will fit perfectly into our range, aimed at the customer who does not want a convertible like the Boxster but also would like a Cayman that is a convertible". However, the new model, tipped to be called the Coxster, has a more important job than that according to high ranking Porsche sources: With the 911 currently depleted by the changeover to the 997 and further GT2, GT3 and Turbo variants still some way off, the Porsche range is in danger of actually making sense for a change, and it will be the Coxster's job to restore some bewilderment to the popular German sports car maker. "I'm confused," said Professor Stephen Hawking yesterday.

I you sure it's not the Cayster or Gayster depending on what side of the fence you're on?

I thought it was going to be called the "Boxman"?

I am more of an "assman" myself and hence I prefer the C4S.

This is all very confusing

It's interesting all the mags are taughting the Cayman. It's possibly one of the best Porsche that's afforble and easy to drive.

BTW, is BMW going to come out with a hardtop Z4?

Mag's taunting the Cayman? You need to read the November issue of "Automotive" and "Excellence" magazines.

The press LOVE the Cayman!
