I'm interested by the Cayman, but surely you can get a very good 2nd hand 911 for the price of a new Cayman. I know which one I'd choose.

well he did actually mention he had spent one week in jail for his lack of "particulars".. on several occasions.


why was Clarkson raving about the porsche sat nav traffic info?? or was that a joke? that sort of live system has been around for ages..

Nick Graves

Good point.

I bet it's easier to drop the 3.4 in the Boxster than it is the 3.6!

Best to build your own, I reckon.

Could it be possible that a 911 engine in a Cayman could be a better car than the 911 itself? It is worth asking that question and perhaps Porsche should think about it too. Maybe even a mid engined 911 would be heaps better than the rear mounted engine of the current car. I however don't think Porsche will ever admit to it or change it but then again...

I thought the Coxster looked pretty good actually but why would anyone buy one?

I'd have a Boxster S any day of the week and if I had the cash a 997S......I agree with JC the Coxster is pointless

Nick Graves

I agree with Rahula:

The lack of an LSD is so cynical, it is obvious what Porsche's game is.

Even with its profane old Ford struts, a Cayman in full 911 spec has its engine in the correct place and should be a far better drive.

Porsche's engineer's have quietly admitted that the Boxster is a better driver's car than the 911, the Cayman potentially could be a beauty.

Apart from its double wishbones and a few other goodies, I suspect that it is actually the 911 that is really pointless.

Where's me toolkit? I'm off to Hatfield to do some breakin' an' enterin'!

Good luck to them

It will tempt ex TT owners, so Porsche should sell plenty

Most of these people will only care about power steering

Over and understeering will be off their radar

Clarskon doesn't like Porsche, the bit about the brakes and gearbox was rubbish. He was negative to piss off the director. Noticed our he glossed over the super quick lap time too

gaddafi

and some people don't like BMWs/Ferraris/Volvos etc........

he is paid to say what he thinks, not suck up to a company like the EVO twats

so it's 5 secs a lap quicker than a 911 turbo?

wonder which one I'd rather have

owners will care even less

apart from down the pub

Nick Graves

Well, there goes your proof!

How much is a GT3 these days? Or a Carrera S?

But with 4x4s, toasters & radios, I think it is only the badge snobs they're after. Gaddafi is right, once again!
