If I were to buy a Porsche it would be a Boxster. Love that car. Best roadster in existence for me. And the latest version is the best looking to date.

With that said, the Cayman is the most visually beautiful thing Porsche has ever made IMHO. Looking at the Cayman makes me drool in ways the 911 just doesn't.

Also agree completely. What did they do to the back end of the Cayman?

Guys, the back end is still partially taped, as is the window. Read the whole thread!

Tape or not, that back end is all sorts of wrong.

Read it, and I'm not complaining about the shape of the window. The back glass just seems so high where it meets the bumper. The whole car looks a lot chunkier than the current model. Like that girl from high school that put on 20lbs the next time you saw her. The general styling seems more aggressive on the Boxster, but it doesn't work as well here with the fixed roof. I see too much Panamera styling influence.

(some of this may just be subconscious rationalization, as I'm in the process of purchasing a cayman)

Not sure about the DRLs though - some people say they will be round, others say the will be an LED bar like in the gray one in the pic above.

Very busy. What happened to the P -car and it's flowing simple lines? That's an ass only a mother can love.
