Too bad you don't like sedans: EVO,STI
Cayman or C6 would be the only cars I would look at

C6 is a must I think, and obviously a C6 Z06 if you can, or a Cayman S if that's more your style.

I have not driven it, but I love the looks. If I can get out of the office on time tomorrow I will take one for a spin. There is a Euro sports car dealer about 5 minutes from my offfice. How much do you think the price drop will be once the 997 TT is released. I don't think that it won't drop down to the 60-65k range. What is your guess Steve... what will they sell for?

I am thinking that maybe I will keep my S2000, and get something else to drive on a normal basis, and start modding the S. My wife has a 2006 FX35. We pretty much take her car on medium to long drives, while I like it, I am usually wanting more out of it. Before you say it, she is not going to go for me modding it. So I guess the next question is should I get myself a cross-over/SUV? I was reading on line that a 2003 or2004 Cayenne Turbo can be had for around 60-65k. Someone please talk me out of buying one of those.

BMW 550i with sport package, Navi, and premium sound package. If with $30k more I would also get the M Aero package.

A lot of people have mentioned the Cayman S, I guess I will have to go test drive one. As for looks, it's a little better than "okay" to me. I hope the performance makes up for that. From what I have seen, the cost is way too high to justify. I'd rather get a late model 996 for less money.

I keep hearing rave reviews about this car, but I am not a sedan guy. I'd go cross over/SUV before sedan. I don't know why. I really do like the Cayenne Turbo. I am waiting for Steve C to tell me why I shouldn't get it. Any reason Steve?
