2006 Porsche Cayman S
Cayman

It took a while to download, but it certainly wasn't a good commercial for the Cayman regardless of how it ended up on the track (right above the Corvette). I also dissagree with a lot of what he said about the looks, but to each his/her own

I disagree with what he had to say about the looks as well. I think this car looks great. I agree that they could have made it phenomenal. I have always had issues with porsche options lists that average around $15K in add ons to bring the car up to par with what it should have these days. Which is annoying as options are worth crap at the time of resale.....perfect example.....do i really need to fork out a couple hundred more on a $60K car that has a long sloping rear window for a wiper? This is a top of the tier Cayman (as there will be a base model to come below it).....should i have to fork out a couple grand for full leather auto seats?......You can feel the indigestion set in when you fill out a porsche options list. This was ok in the 80's and 90's when porsche were the only ones that made cars that fit their niche
