His argument was that the car was built just to fill in the gap between the Boxster and 911. He said that he likes his cars to be designed the best it can be, not designed to be "in the middle." For example, it lacks LSD because Porsche didn't want the car to be as fast as the 911.

I did agree with him on the options pricing. I put down money to order one of the first ones until I actually priced out the car I wanted. 70k was a bit much for the Cayman with the options I wanted. I did not throw in anything like nav or Ceramic brakes or anything too crazy just some things I think help the base car out.

Pricey or not, I like the car and believe it will sell well.

Especially to trustafarians (I just learned this word and have been eager to try it out).

Damn, no LSD for a $70k performance car. Shit, the new Si has a LSD standard, WTF Porsche?
