I really, really hate the name, but everything else is gorgeous~! I like it even more than the 997s:

It's placed between the Boxster and the Carrera, so it's an entry level coupe for Porsche.

consider this.... how much does it cost to change an EGR valve on a CLE and how much would it cost to change the Oil Seperator Valve on the Caymen? If the Caymen is anything like the carrera or boxter, then you need to drop the whole subframe just to change a $100 part. Dont get me wrong, I love the caymen but the problem is that you are comparing apples to oranges. Lots of ppl tend to forget to take into consideration teh fact that the upkeep on a porsche costs a lot more hten the upkeep on a MB.

if CLE is a 'C-class based' i.e. not something heavier than a C55 and 2-door is just just fine. CLE55, CLE63 whatver you call it , it is KING - end of story. Time to plan trashing our W203s.

FrankW , you are the true man, you won't take the Porsche. I know.
997 , BoxterS, Cayman, Cayxxxx...whatever , they are just struggling - end of story.
