Quick impressions are that the Cayman S is a beauty in the flesh. Pictures seriously don't do it justice at all!
It's Arctic Silver/Cocoa brown full leather inside. The PCM screen curiously didn't show up even though I ordered it as well as the silver/grey seatbelts. It's for the wife so it had to be tiptronic but this car deserves a 6speed, the noise it makes is head and shoulders above the past Porsche models.
The ride is pretty good actually and the handling is a dream. I can't wait untill the break-in is done as this car seems to relish being as close to the redline, as I found out while test-driving the demo.
Inside fit and finish is world class, and the sports seats are miles better than my 996 turbo S. It feels very solid, more solid than the 996 with no creaks or rattles.
Overall, it's a blast to drive and both, me and the wife, are more than happy with the decision to get it.

Give it time, and the look will probably grow on you.

Plenty of fog this time of the year. I'm almost afraid of saying how much I'm paying for gas in the fear I might get lynched.

Congrats Khalid to you and your wife on the Cayman, they are nice looking cars.
If only they had a 330hp version.
Porsche should rename the Carrera S a Carrera, and make the current S with Power kit the new S, giving room for a 330 HP Cayman, and a 310 hp Boxster.
