Mid engine, perfect proportion, PDK and thousands less than 991. I love it! Will seriously consider a 2013 Cayman!

It's a shame they will likely keep it powered far enough below the 991 to justify the price premium of the 991.

yeah - cayman looks intersting

boxster rear wing is a little weird, integrated into the tail lights. rear haunches look more pedestrian too

bet it handles great though. and like someone else said, love the windshield angle

Yeah, it's a shame Porsche is keeping Cayman under power from factory compare with 991. But better balance, PDK and light weight will make up the difference. Most importantly you will look great in a Cayman.

How funny, my office mate just made fun of me liking the Cayman and compare it to Mr2. The new Cayman look fantastic and I hope it will look even better once we peel away the vinyl tapes

I like the new 991, too. But I like this more. Very sleek and love the details.
