The styling on the new one is better, but I just can't get past the look of the rear.

It's a shame Porsche have used the Cayman/Boxster to raise the 911 price so high. I looked at a 911 last weekend, granted it was the 50th anniversary one, but $140k is steep. Too steep IMO.

I will be detailing a 50th anniversary 911 soon. It has the hounds tooth leather seats reminiscent of the early years. I detail a neighbors Cayman S. Sweet ride.

There is a '14 Cayman S in white that's for sale at the local Jaguar dealer here. I drive by it twice a week and ever time I do, I think about taking the S up there to see what the trade-in would be. I am 99.99% sure I will never do that, but there is this little part of me that would love to get into the new Cayman S. I absolutely love that car.



I liked the old Cayman S as well (but not as much as the new one). My roomate had one so I had the opportunity to drive it quite frequently.

apples vs. oranges but after driving a 2014 Vette with Z51 package and the Cayman S I would choose the Vette and save some money. Cant afford either but if I could.

I think the new C7 is amazing and have been a fan of the upgrades GM has been making since they rolled the C6 out. The interior is so much nicer than in the C4 and C5. Fit and finish is so much better.
Now, having said that, I like the Cayman because I like the look of it more.
