If the twins lose to mundane cars like those two then you know it's a rigged comparison.

There is no excuse for over hyping a car.

if there are any cars to lose to, the Cayman is it. anybody that cares about sports car should drive a Cayman once.

[D4S]

I can understand the Cayman from which the car's engineering roots are partially based, but a Golf?

[Sportsguy83]

I DEMAND a Recount BRAAAHHHHHHHH

[russv]

Comparing a Golf with the twins is like comparing apples and oranges. The Cayman is twice the price.

[Shagaliscious]

I saw a new Boxster today. First time I saw a new one. Looked really nice.

Agreed, the Golf (and technically the A3) is a great everyman's car, but it's hard to compare directly to the 86.

[Don Ivey]

I sold my '10 Golf TDi to get the FR-S, and believe me, the Golf is a great car, in many ways a better choice for me than the FR-S. But, it wasn't nearly as much fun to drive, didn't have the "bling" value, and left me a bit cold. It did get 45MGG on the road though, and that makes up for a lot of faults. The main reason I got rid of it was the fear something would go wrong with the electrics, and it would start nickel and diming me to death. Anyway, life is too short to drive boring cars, and I'll probably trade the FR-S for something else after a few years. YMMV,

Well we made top 3 in overall World car of the year;
top three in World performance car of the year;
and a finalist in the World car design of the year.
That's pretty freaking awesome.
