Good GAWD! I was OK with the profile view, but from behind? Almost as ugly as the E89 ass end. Maybe worse. Reminds me of the Chrysler Crossfire - NOT what you want people to think if you're Porsche.

The Cayman is pretty nice for a poor mans Porsche. I would buy it just to drive around town with my E92 M3 and E70. |

Hmm. I can't decide, I'll have to look at it awhile.
Looks bigger, but if they went after weight the way they did in the Cayenne, it might actually be lighter, along with a more powerful engine (and as noted, no IMS, and a real oil system). Now that would be interesting. |

I thought it looked better in the spy photos

I like the shape, but I'm getting pretty tired of the cheesy led strips on all the lighting units. Looks like those Christmas light "ropes", just doesn't do it for me. One thing is guaranteed, it will, and it's options will, be grossly overpriced.

Seems unavoidable with cars these days, it amazes me how expensive sports cars have gotten, they've driven away (pun not intended) from the raw sports car enthusiast but sports + luxury and tacked on a 15k premium. A no option 1M at the time seems like a bargain compared to this, and yes there were places that allowed you to order at msrp without the 10k dealer charge. |

New pics do look like a 2 door panamera from an angle but I think the deeper air ports looks more aggressive...

I still want to find a cheap Boxster S, do the IMS fix and use it for a summer/weekend car and use it for the occasional DE with PCA... |

Agree. The older units with the fix, seem to be holding good values and the interior has gone by way of the cheap German plastics. Ultimate would be to find a fair condition 993 (*dream*)

BMW is almost as bad though, at least in terms of the overall "base" price. Even our beloved cars were, when first on the market, close to 60K. Yes, maintenance is a bear, and parts are more expensive than those stamped with the letters BMW. I think I'd rather have an older Miata than the Boxster S. Even with a new IMS bearing and shaft, I'd still worry about that engine imploding. |

New cars just don't do it for me, everything in the past 3 years is too big, too heavy, too expensive. The only cars that I can see myself driving aside from the e86 is the previous gen Boxster or S2000 - and only b/c if I'm looking for a 2nd toy, I want top down =) |

Totally agree on new cars. With the exception of the 1M, which has what I'd look for, except of course the price. Quote:

GL with your search. Finding a nice E30M3 is a quest, but worth it! |

Thanks, I've got a line on 3, from a group in Ohio, not cheap, but matching VINs on panels. I really want a simple vehicle, when the BMW build quality was very high. E28M5 is probably not gonna happen in the U.S., just not that many of them, but God that interior was (sorry ladies) TITS!
