Guys check this out, i post thread in 6speedonline asking how they compare Cayman S with SLK
Let say

Cayman S VS SLK 350
Cayman what ? VS SLK55
You know how they respond

(The cayman is 10x better performance and would smoke any slk, including a 55)

Yep, different cars totally, the Cayman S will only see the back of the SLK55's tail lights on the streets, on a road course, it'll be a different story, the cayman is one of the best handling cars according to every magazine. I think the SLK beats the cayman in every category except on the twisties. Who drives their car to the limits on the streets anyway? Since I only track 4-5 times a year, the SLK wins. Plus the 911 looks alright but the cayman looks funky.

They are both a compromise, like every other vehicle.
On the down side, the Porsche needs more hp. The phone and NAV user interface are better on MB than Porsche, but the Japanese best both.
The MB negatives are the absence of manual transmission in the SLK55. The absence of an SLK63 is also a negative. Also, MBUSA prohibits customers configuration flexibility, prohibits specific options in the US, prohibits specific Designo colors, prohibits Designo color combinations, prohibits specific Designo options and refuses to charge Designo options based on the standard equipment for the model, an SLK55 Designo costs the same as an SLK200, that comes with a lesser interior.
The BMW 135i is the model I'm leaning towards for my next ride.
