And about their handling, my understanding was the difference is so small it isn't a topic of conversation, the Cayman being a tad more rigid of course.

Let's reverse a little here. Given the design approaches of many cars, there are cars that definitely compete with the Cayman, but using that so loosely as it seems it may start to become that, a Type R could be considered a competitor to the Cayman, especially considering it's performance/dollar. So if we are to go off of what I was actually saying, the Corvette and Supra can not be compared to the Cayman, with respects to what I think is comparable; the design is completely different and how these cars achieve performance is also different. There is no mid engine RWD (RMR) sportscar that competes with the Cayman that you can buy new and at it's price point right now, they simply don't exist.

How did we go from talking about the S2000 to this?
The MkIV Supra TT competed with the Corvette & 911. That is the only time this occurred. Previously it did not, and there's no chance in hell of the new Supra competing with the Corvette, 911 or Cayman - at least not from a performance perspective.

So the Evora is a bit pricey, no? The Alfa is competition and the Elise is competition within exact engine layouts (thank god you understand). For Canadians, that's like next to no options, because Lotus isn't really widely available and seems rather tasking to get your hands on one. I have been in agreement with your last point that other cars can definitely compete in performance, and in some cases exceed the Cayman at it's price. I just want a Baby NSX to happen, classic mid engine is cool as fuq. Once the Stingray gets a mid engine, it will be an option.

I would like to know the actual price on them because it would be inaccurate to convert based on their website -_-. Interested to know how much of reality they are over the likes or a Cayman later down the road.

All it takes is one man, one dream. A baby NSX. The Dream.
