The new Porsche Cayman. Starts at about $59k and does 0-60 in the low 5s.

Yep, it's tempting. ...One of the best designs since the TT.

Default Or as I call it... the Boxster coupe' ;) defineatly the most "different" looking P-car in YEARS.

Carrera GT and Chayanne asside of course.

I actually like the look of it. The interior was impressive as well. Not the usual, boring, odd interior of a Porsche.

Default For some reason I am stuck on the MB E55 AMG.. can't look at anything else

I rode in one and it was amazing breaking rear tires loose at 35mph when hitting the gas.

Default Possibly, and a great car, but I like the clean look of this one better...

Is there a front grille busted in that middle picture of the cayman?
Not sure, the pics here suggest two different front grill designs, with (hopefully) the bottom pics being closer to the production version. The side vents on the bottom pics are also hopefully the production version....much nicer.

It is a nice design, with a couple design touches that I'd simplify a bit. But you're right Brad, I'd definitely be looking at it....especially since I don't think this Alfa is coming to the US.<ul><li><a href="http://www.germancarfans.com/photos.cfm">from.....</a></li></ul>

I thought it was a 987 interior with a slightly different instrument hood.
