Cayman Convertible?
I pulled up to a FedEx service center today and on the way in, I was stopped by a gentleman, asking me about my car. Did I like the 911? How did I feel about the Cayman?
I spoke very highly of the Cayman S. Had a chance to drive on this weekend and loved it.
We spoke of the Boxster and he told me he really didn't like it. And then he asked me if the Cayman came in a convertible version.
I told him I was pretty sure that it did....

Chuck,
Funny stuff.
Coincidentally, this Sunday (father's day), we are going to a place called Southern Kitchen (your neck of the wood) for brunch, then we (as in my wife and I) are going to look at the Cayman S. This is my father's day present to myself (the brunch and looking, not buying a car).
You have a great father's day.

Funny you mention this, but I suspect that Porsche will rename the Boxster, making it the Cayman Cabriolet....why? Because it will instatntly gain the respect that the Boxster didnt have amongst the average joes who dont think the Boxster is a "REAL" Porsche....dont be surpeised if this happens.

I know you're kidding around, but now that you mention it, Cayman Cabriolet does sound nicer than boxter! Well, the Cabriolet part of the name anyway- Cayman is a weird name, as is Cayenne.

I think the biggest reason for this is the new body change of boxster. I was in love with Cayman S, still is actually.
When I went to the dealer, I saw this black Boxster S, and I thought it was a cayman from the front. I couldn't believe it was a boxster without getting close and looking from behind.
The only reason I got the boxster is i wanted a convertible.
Now that I got mine, I am looking at the other boxsters in traffic. The old ones are very different.
When I park, I overhear people pointing at my car and telling their friends, " hey look, it's the new cayman! "

CP-If you get a chance to drive a Cayman S, take the opportunity. I really liked my little test drive. I felt the Cayman was close in overall performance to my 993. You won't have that same experience since your car has a few more horses than mine....
Happy Fathers Day to you also. And everyone else!
