god i hope it keeps those lines(i hope its not just the camo making it look sleeker than it really is) particularly the rear end.

if i had the money to buy a cayman i would i absolutely love those cars, but i'd like to wait for them to bring in the R model

Wow. If I could afford it I would get it over the FT-86, if it (Toyota) doesn't weigh over 1.000 kg. Looks like the Cayman is getting a new T 2.4l H4. I would swap that engine out and put the new NA 3.6l H6 with 400 PS of the new 911 Carrera S (991) that is rumoured to do the N-Ring in 7:37 min with best setup (bucketseats, chrono packet, ceramic brakes, dual clutch 7 speed).

I don't think anyone on here would stay with the 86 if they could afford the cayman or were given one for free. trust me you aren't alone.

That looks so much better than the current model, even with the camo. The rear deck no longer looks awkward. Do want (even though I am not a fan of the centre dual exhaust).

They really did fix the rear deck, which IMO was the main problem aesthetically with the Cayman. Would love to have one of these cars one day.

Does anyone know what the speed holes around the headlights are for? They're distracting...

[ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CPGycSQb6tQ"]New Porsche Cayman 2013 - 981 series - barely disguise prototype - Part 3 - YouTube[/ame]

The closed-top coupe version of the already revealed Boxtser Roadster will boast the same sedign as its sibling. It is likely to feature the same engine lineup as well. The base Cayman will come with a 2.7-liter engine that produces 265 HP (261 bhp / 195 kW) whilst the high performance Cayman S gets a bigger 3.4-liter engine delivering 315 HP (311 bhp / 232 kW).

The next generation Porsche Cayman will arrive on the market during 2013 following a world debut at the Los Angeles Motor Show in November this year.

The new Boxter's gorgeous; you wouldn't have caught me dead saying that anytime in the last decade. A Cayman of the same design is

I don't know... I may be the only one, but I don't like how it looks... I hugely prefer the Zx6 aesthetically. I like the booster better because of its big side vent, but I don't like the boxster that much either...

I'm sure they're a blast to drive though!!
