Default Cayman S

Not crazy about tracking a convertible, and if it's a fun car, I would hope to take it to the track. And in my fanstasy world, I would be fine stuffing it into a wall and walking away from $60K of crumpled metal, so what the hell, let's make it a Cayman S, shall we? :-P

Test drove the new boxster today for fun, beautiful/awesome car. But for frequent tracking, Cayman!

Default Disagree. I think the Boxter, Cayman, and Carrera GT represent the marque well, notwithstanding that

they're mid-engined.

Default This is what I'm leaning towards

Not sure if I could buy another Audi and try to make it into a sports car .... I'd rather just start with a good platform.

A convertible is tempting, but so is chassis rigidity.

Default Out of those three, the RS4 seems like it would be the best daily driver...

unless you never carry more than one passenger. :-)

The Cayman S would be my choice out of the three, as it seems to be the most focused, but then again I love my Evo as a daily driver.

Default way too much

I think that's going to be near $100k....

A bit flashy for my taste as well

Sure to be a nice car though

Default ya think?

I'm betting it'll be like $65k, very few if any options available.

They'll just price themselves out of the market otherwise.

Maybe I'm just optimistic...
