SWEET pics! The Cayman looks like a bonafide Exotic to me. Unbelievable that they designed it so good this time (total fail on the first one, IMO) that it looks like THAT yet costs "only" $5xK to start.
I really think they did the Cayman so good this time, it might sway some away from the also gorgeous 991.
Porsche have their best lineup since the 993 days. They really are on point with their new designs, namely the Sports Coupes they just released.

. The dark gray Cayman S was loaded out at 88k and the white Cayman was 66k.
BTW : one more pic of the Porsche GT for your viewing pleasure.

I personally don't have a need for huge amount of space in a vehicle. I have bluetooth, GPS, and comfortable seats and I love the ride. So for me it's not a mistake it's a pleasure.
My 2 cents: Call it a mistake maybe for yourself, but not everyone.

I'm basing it on having owned six new Porsches including my current 911. If you must have one, go with the 911. It's got some space and in non sport mode is somewhat comfortable.
Also keep in mind it does not have a spare and the tires are not run flats.
Don't get me wrong, I love Porsches and have been driving them since 1983 as a second car.

I lusted after a 911 for years. After a test drive one day I got back into my Mercedes and couldn't figure out why I would pay twice as much for a car that was half as nice.
