This new car, the Cayman is to come between the 911 Carrera and the Boxster S.
It is a mid-engined two-seater, basically a Boxster Coupe.



Why Cayman?
Introducing this name, Porsche is taking up a concept from the animal world: The cayman belongs to the crocodile family. Within this group of the world's largest reptiles, the cayman is however a relatively small but very nimble athlete. And precisely this creates a clear resemblance not only to Porsche's new sports car, but also to the Company as a whole: The cayman is acknowledged as a highly specialised hunter with strength and agility, quick reflexes and clear target orientation.

Sheesh they really should have asked the southern hemisphere about that name.? I can just see.."How's ya wheels go bro'?"..."ahh..goes like a croc..."? ?I think your car is a croc.
Ho hum...? maybe one day they'll recognise the 914/6 as the original beast. ;D ;D

Crocodiles are ugly at the best of times...looks like a 911 slept with a Boxster and this is the bastard offspring.  ;D

lol, Im hoping they make it something quite different from the one in all the spy shots. Maybe something completely different from 911 and Boxster.

They Cayenne is getting a facelift for 2006 also, the V6 model is meant to be getting a new 3.6 V6 from VAG (currently the 3.2)

I think that's really cool.  They should stick with that design.  It stands out and in  silver it would look mint.
