Porsche Cayman spied

I know what you are gonna say I need pics...I will work on that. For any of you in the Los angeles Area, I noticed that they are testing Caymens at the Pomona Fairplex I saw like 30 of them parked all nice, neat and tight in the same area they did the Zoom-Zoom Challenge. At first I thought they were concept Z's or TT's but then I pulled a u-turn to look again and I saw that they are Caymen I think. I Definitly need pictures. If any one drives by take some shots, I will make my way out there again hopefully on the weekend.

hahaha. anyway, i think the car looks great, but for $10k+ you can get a carrera. also, when you get options for the cayman, it adds up really quick. i did it online last week and my cayman w/options and other fluff came to $74K

Yeah, Cayman is overspriced in Canada. I optioned out a Cayman on the US site, and with the currency conversion, and duty, and taxes it was still 1k cheaper than the base canadian MSRP, w/o taxes!! People who purchase Porsches from Canadian dealers are suckers.

Yup, and we can drive them year 'round without worrying about magical things like snow and ice.

I think in general when it comes to purchasing cars, us Canuks get the short end of the stick compared to the Yankees all day.


....Thats why I dont even bother to check out US sites - its best not to think about it

It was a no-brainer to produce a Boxster coupe especially with the Z4 coupe coming but hopefully it won't steel any 911 sales. I know most people have seen the Cayman, but for those that haven't:

We don't worry about snow and ice, we live with it. You are the ones that have to worry about it.
