It would still be nice if VW, and other companies in general would try and make something. A non-turbo and non-luxury Cayman badged as a VW would be interesting, especially if they kept the engine and all of the internals the same so you could just turbocharge it afterwards anyway. I was a big fan of that VW bluesport concept that came out a few years back too. Shame they never made that.
