Sorry for the link and run. Posting from my phone.

Love the look of this. Looks better than the new 911 imo.

Yep best looking new Porsche yet!

Next car either this or a 997.2 variation of some sort.

Cayman S starts at £46k Gibbo.

You know you want to

Looks like a squished panamera. Looks good

Although, forgive me for not being a porsche nerd, but why would you buy this and not a Cayman, or the other way around?

Never buy new, depreciation bombs! Plus a Cayman S with PCCB, buckets etc will be closer to 60k.

You might as well wait even longer for an R for track use.

You definitely need buckets and a harness

Mate has a 997 and its lost more than 30k of its list in less than 2 years!!!!

My dad specced his Cayman S to circa 60K and sold it I think 20 months later for 28K. His C4S was bought 2nd hand, no Porsche bar the specials hold their value these days sadly as they make too many. However as a second hand buy you can get an incredible car for circa 30K.

Indeed! I used to think it was just BMW M cars that had atrocious depreciation!

Not all of them, 1M is solid. Get em when they first arrive not end of life.

Oh man, I love this. It looks really great, I like the side vents through the door and the rear quarter. The rear looks very sharp. Nice niceeee!

I'm holding my breath on this one as the Panamera thing sticks out to me too.

It's like the reverse of the Panamera being morphed out of the 911 this is the Cayman being morphed from a baseline of the Panamera instead of a cross between the 911 and a Boxter which is more what it should be, for me.
Probably looks a lot better in the flesh.

if it drives anything like the new boxter I would be tempted by one

mccarf · 29 Nov 2012 at 07:54

Looks great

. I love the lights

rossk26 · 29 Nov 2012 at 08:37

I hear the legroom is terrible

Should be better, seems Porsche themselves are taking the Cayman more seriously.

40kg lighter than last Cayman, 10BHP more than new Boxster. Seems they are definetely positioning the Cayman above the Boxster and to drive that is absolutely sublime. Just the thought that this will/could be better is mind boggling.

At least Porsche are doing it right, there cars getting lighter, wheras others heavier.

Looks much better than the current gen.

Just looks more serious / grown!

What are the odds of them making one into a mini GT3!
