Default Porsche Cayman S

Pics and details over on Pistonheads - looks and sounds like a pretty nice car, if you really must have a Porsche.

Hmm - they've stopped the 'which way is it facing' thing, but that arse looks a bit flaccid like the z3 roadster with it's roof up IMO.

You're quite obsessed with car's arses aren't you Rob?

Remind me not to let you drive behind my car's arse

not so sure about that.

The back end reminds me more of a Boxster/TT cross.

And if you look athe front 3/4 shot, the back end kind of reminds me of a Maserati.

I like it - perhaps a little too much edge rounding, but nothing that one couldn't become accustomed to. Performance seems okay.

Looks nice actually and you're right, why go for the 911?

Chances are the driving dynamics will surpass it's bigger brother.

Saying that, I was at the lights earlier next to a new Carrera S and it did sound lovely as we ambled away from the lights.

I really like it actually, if only they'd do the same with the S2000....
