And the Cayenne is something around 55% of all Porsche sales

 

Mostly in the US, to be fair.

Whether it's because the Cayenne is the prettiest and best-engineered car in its very ugly class, or because a lot of (especially US) Porsche buyers are merely badge-obsessed is a matter of some conjecture...

 

Rich, got your text, I was elbows deep in engine at the time and then forgot to reply....

Glad you've found a use for the Cayman over posing, maybe you won't need the Oakleys and Bluetool earpiece after all

One of these days we'll get the Exige and the Cayman out on track and do a back to back (and both spin, naturally) and you can show me what I'm missing and that I bought the wrong car.....

 

Yep - track day coming our way soon!

The Exige will always be the better track day car - much more nimble

Are you back up North this weekend? Might be at a loose end on Sunday if you fancy a blast.

Cayenne is the highest selling Porsche? God help us! It's one of the most fugly things invented!

Also, on the 911 vs Cayman saga, have you seen the tyres on the 911? The rears on an 02 996 Turbo are 295 and 225 on the front. Cayman has 265 rear, 235 front. Now you tell me where the engine should be?

Not that I'm biased of course..........

 

I am back up north, but we have friends here for the BH weekend, so I don't think a drive is going to happen, too much planned.
