Default Just saw it!

Hello...I just saw the car in the flesh! It seems they are using Westwood (L.A) as the back drop for a commercial. I have to say...NICE... the photos dont do it justice. It almost had a little Lotus flair to it! If anyone is in the area Wilshire/Westwood (wed. 1am) You can have a look

Apparently I've been looking a Cayman photos too long. I was driving the back roads in SW Virginia (highway 8) around 7:30 last evening and rounded a turn to face what I thought was a black Cayman coming the other way, and traveling at a fast pace. I put in my report that I saw a UFO instead of a Cayman because no one would believe the latter.

Just what I want, a German Car with British Flair!

If Porsche keeps sending me stuff on this little booger I may have to buy one.

Me too. The design is very Carrera GT-ish. They look to be lightweight.

Interesting that 18s are standard. I'm still not sold on the performance benefits of 19s.

i like most of the car. The seamless rocker flowing into the rear quarter panel and vent is done nicely,
I also like the wheels and front end.

I dont care for the humped roof (like the 350z) and the seam in the sheet metal where the rear quarter meets the tail lights.

The interior is too contemporary and the center console is terrible. Curious to hear about how it drives.
