Grant: I agree. "Having it called a 2012 is (indeed) going to carry more retained value than a 2011!" But they are not calling this Cayman R a MY2012. They are calling it a MY2011. That is the negative. In less than six months, there will be a MY2012 model which will be more valuable, in resale, financing, leasing, etc. Contrast that with the Boxster Spyder. Exactly one year ago, at the same LA Auto Show in November of 2009, they introduced the MY2011 Boxster Spyder. First delivered in March of 2010. Still in production today and will be until the summer of 2011. That was the 'positive' for those that bought this car 'early'. z356

1. nice try, they wont do it
2. u still wont fit. they you'll be very pissed when i blow by you in the 3.8GT1 no option all alcantara cayman R

mooty

if one must buy a cay s, then cay r is better value as NJGT suggested.
but if i were choosing b/n cay r and spyder, i take spyder. more differentiated than box s and more fun with top down in N Cal.

what really disappoints is that PAG is pimping out the "R" nomenclature. when is the pepper RS coming? or panamera R limited edition?

the could have done so much to cay r and sell it for 80-90k. but no.... let's just throw parts together and put a badge there.

Steve: I sincerely hope so but I heard the term '2011 Cayman R' from one of the presenters at the 'live' telecast this morning. It would make sense that it is a MY2012. I am coming down from Carmel on Friday to see it in person. Hopefully, what model year this Cayman R actually is will be sorted out by then. Are you still interested in this model for purchase? z356

They should stop right there. Yes, "R" could denote responsive and refined, but hell, by no means does it pertain to a 3000lb flubbery street car. But let's stop there.Damn ... they just couldn't quit while they were ahead, could they? Seriously?! 10hp? And puerile vocabulary? "Racy?" Good grief.And if you pay the premium, Porsche will apply the "golden screwdriver" and heal the car of its factory crippleware. This is just offensive crap! It is as if a mass market vendor was trying to take the Porsche back to its VW Beetle origins and extract every penny from the Porsche brand value before throwing it on the trash heap of slain heroes including Bugatti and Lamborghini and Audi and ... oh dear.

Not impressed with the car or the website! I remember the days when Porsches came in 1600 normal and 1600S, cab or coupe! Live was so simple then.
