'06 C350 4MATIC
The Diff's
I guess you really cannot compare a Cayman to a C. It's the apple vs. orange argument.
I would not expect that a C350 would really take down a Cayman when you open them up and let it run a few miles.
But on the other hand, the Cayman is probably going to be a bit more uncomfortable if you have to sit in the car for two or three, three hundred mile drives a week.
Maybe if it's sitting in your driveway or maybe if you are cruising down to the Jiffy Mart for a cheese burrito then the Cayman has a much higher coolness factor.

S Class, E Class and C Class and nothing has been a better combination of performance without the excess of a V 8. Just try one and make up your own mind.

08' BMW E92 Coupe
only thing is the C coupe had a rear seat for passengers where the Cayman does not. I personally think the Cayman looks real good and it's been written about in the last two Car and Driver mags I got. seems that they say it's a better performer than the Boxster and that even a 911 owner would be impressed with the Cayman. BMW E90 coupe should be nice (I hope b/c i'd love to get another BMW coupe), if not then I'd probably consider the Z4 coupe which is being released in 06'. Shouldn't be too expensive either, I'd guess a few grand less than the droptop version?
