That should tell you something.

1. Porsche DOES use wishbones on some cars. Look at the racecars, like the 911 RSR. The reason they don't use it on others is more due to tradition (and cost, obviously) than any real engineering consideration. Don't forget they have some of the highest markup of any car manufacturer out there.
2. The Z is a big, somewhat heavy, front-biased FR coupe. Much different than a mid-engine Cayman. No point in making any direct comparison to them. Also, its "double wishbone suspension" is a bit different... kinda like how the FR-S & BRZ are advertised as having double wishbones in the rear but don't. The Z has a sort of L-shaped double control arm setup.
