A base Cayman is what you compromise to instead of a Cayman S.
I know, I know, I'm saying "I want something cheaper!" but then I'm not willing to give anything up.

I think it looks beautiful, especially when you see one on the road next to you. That car looks freaking stylish when it's rolling on the highway.
Only problem with that car is the existence of the base Cayman for the same price.
The Cayman looks better, handles better, feels better, is lighter, just as comfortable, as fast if not faster, brakes better, etc...

$45k seems like a lot, but then it's only $10k more than an S2000 CR and about $20k less than a similarly-optioned CS (Porsche options are *insane*).
I'd rather have a (new) CR + $17k (towards a 4-door beater) than get a TT-S.
I'd rather have a (new) CR + $37k than get a (new) CS.
Did you know used RS4s are going for <$40k?
IMHO, CR + RS4 FTW.

I think they have the 2.0T with the K04 turbo? (same as GTI but bigger turbo/intercooler and stronger internals). If so, and if you're into modding, just a chip takes those things to like 310hp and 330 lb/ft torque.

I hear what you're saying though, especially about the performance...
