Top Ten Best New Cars That You Can Currently Buy:
Porsche Cayman S
"There are many reasons why you might buy a Cayenne (though I'm struggling to think of one), while someone might buy a Boxster to drive or to pose (or most likely both). Even the 911 cannot escape the fact that a sizeable chunk of customers buy it not for its abilities, but as a symbol of achievement.
By rather stark contrast, there is only one reason to buy a Cayman. It's closed and ugly, so it has no pose appeal, and status seekers will see it only as a poor man's 911 and therefore quite beyond the pale. Its only appeal is to proper enthusiasts, to whom how a car feels as it goes from one place to the next is their overwhelming (and, indeed, only) priority. See a 911, Boxster or Cayenne driving along the street and you can reach any number of conclusions about its driver. See a Cayman S and there is but one: 'Proper person passing.' "
