Yeah, that's what I'm hoping as well.

There's a lot of camo still on the car - the rear windshield looks awful because of it.

A Cayman looks pretty good until an NSX or 904 or a Ferrari car is parked beside it. Then not so good />

New Boxter is better. Old Cayman is better. This is the awkward middle ground.

I hate pedestrian crash regulations.

I've got a great idea for a regulation: HOW ABOUT YOU STOP HITTING PEDESTRIANS.

One of the Porsche guys (hawc) from Planet-9 who has seen the production model Cayman says that there is camo tape on the rear window and it will look different when removed. Otherwise, I think it looks great.

I like everything but the tail lights. I always hated the cayman's tail lights.
