It is ok but it gets a "MEH" from me as well. The taillights are in the same design pattern with the new VW Beetle which I really found hideous! What was wrong with the old beautiful "Porsche specific" design?
The front is so and so but it doesn't state for me "I am a Porsche" anymore.

It seems that some cheap car manufacturers are learning how to be succesful while the old good names are trying new design failures that help them kick themselves in the but...

Cayman's a great car. But you have to compare it with the way it comes from the factory, not with tens of thousands of dollars of modifications on a $70,000 car. Heck, you can now even get a GT3 for around the price of a new Cayman.

Right now, if it was between a new Cayman or a used Audi R8 4.2L, you'd still have to go with the Audi for a few more bucks, both looks and performance.
Well, for the price of a used GT3 you could get a gen 2, put a 3.8 motor in it and upgrade brakes and suspension. Kills GT3's and has much better reliability and uses less consumables.

Even in stock form though, on track my Cayman S w/ PASM had no problem handling the 4.2L R8's. I was the only porsche on track with about 5 or 6 of them.

This would've looked much better if they'd just gone and copy/pasted the Boxster's front and rear bumpers to this. Oh well, goofy details aside, it's a solid looking evolution.

Solid! I would buy it if I could get an s in the 60's. 80's with options is way too much for this car.
This will be an amazing used car in the years to come. Btw I would buy a boxster spyder over this In a heart beat.
