Can't afford a 911, but don't like the look of the Boxster? Now there's a new Porsche coupe with a unique look and a slightly more reasonable price.

I have to say Edmunds and every other automotive news source is pretty much dead on with this one... It looks really cool but doesn't really serve a purpose. If you have $65k to spend on a porsche... chances are you can swing $75k for the 911 or pick up a slightly used one. I really do like the styling though... porsche purists won't however. Should be a moderate hit, not as accesible as the boxster but I think you will see similar sales numbers to the BMW 645. They aren't true competitors but I think they will appeal to the same buyers. 285 hp (or thereabouts) is a little slim for $65k even in a light little body. When you have g35s, z's, subarus, and evos less than half the price with the same performance it looks like much less of a bargain. I actually like the controversial name though ... it actually kind of looks like a cayman

This car is beating 997s around the Ring by 4 seconds and the 0-60 is only a tenth or so off the 997's pace. More luggage room than the 997 and a superior, mid-engine design. I also like the front fascia, which beats both the 997 and 987 imo. The protruding-yet-plain nose is the main thing I don't like about the latter-mentioned models' styling, btw.
 
Is Porsche trying to phase out the 911? I think so. Will they succeed?/ Again, I think so. Maybe the rear-engined cars will survive at the very high end, i.e. Turbo/GT2/GT3. Once the sedan Porsche comes out, those who buy the 997 for the jumpseat will have a better option.....

i'm looking forward to the non-s version that will be coming out about a year after the initial offering. it'll come with the engine from the current boxster s. hopefully they'll leave off some of the luxury and technology items from the s model to drop a couple hundred pounds of weight (and several thousands of dollars) and will result in a car thats a little lighter on its feet.

I HAVE A 2005 CAYENNE S. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR IN 3 TIMES FOR ALIGNMENT ISSUES. THE CAR PULLS TO THE RIGHT CONSTANTLY. DEALER CLAIMS THE ROADS ARE SLANTED AND THE CAYENNE IS HEAVY ON THE FRONT END & IT WILL DO THIS; HOWEVER, NOT AN ALIGNMENT ISSUE. ANYBODY HAVE THIS PROBLEM?

I think you're in the wrong forum.
 
Your issue is about a Porsche Cayenne S, and this forum is discussing the future Porsche Cayman S.
 
Sorry, about your problem. Post it in the Porsche Cayenne forum, and good luck!
