Honda may have cancelled it's plans for the upcoming NSX. Doesn't matter. This is what I want.

How about this one?

I've got a Mazda DISI turbo (275hp) that would pop right in. Can you imagine that in a 1,000lb car?!

I've always wanted one of these, but have managed to avoid gratifying myself:

That would be a rocket but it's too much like a sand buggy for me.

Qvale + MG + Rover. Sounds like a menu for an oil leak.

They just keep making the Cayman better and better. For me it is the best looking Porsche body style of all of them. I know they are supposed to be similar, but the Boxster looks like a completely different car. The Cayman is getting more expensive, too, I think. An owner from Austin who tracks his Cayman with us has decided to stop tracking it in favor of putting together a cheaper Miata track car. Fun on the cheap!

With what I lost when the stock market tanked I could have bought a fleet of them! I do love the looks of the Cayman over all other Porsches.

I've always considered the S2000 a Porsche at Honda prices.

...and with Honda reliability, a significant asset.

That new Cayman S, though ... well ... with the same power as the entry-level 911s used to have and the engine in the middle, I expect that its handling is quite amazing.

I think I want one, too. HPH
