[Dennisch]

Hideous.

 

[Cowboy]

I think the older Caymans are a bit more stylish than the new ones.

Cool.

 

[Mike458]

Baby Porsche... but cool. Quite cool. Kind of like a miniaturized, more adorable version of the 996.

 

[Tornado]

Couldn't afford a 911

 

[Suzumiya]

What if I actually wanted this model?

 

[Bobert power]

If I couldn't afford a 911, I'd be ok with it because of the Cayman.

 

[Cowboy]

Couldn't afford a 911

But it has near 911 performance.

 

[Tornado]

What if I actually wanted this model?

Then it still wouldn't be cool.

But it has near 911 performance.

So does a Camaro. Doesn't make that cool either.

 

[Suzumiya]

I'd look cooler in it.

 

[Ettick]

sz because tornado says it's uncool

I would rather have the Beetle anyday.

Well, this is a step up from your usual arguments in these threads.

 

[Casey]

Not that much of a fan of it.

Meh.

 

[sparkytooth]

This is a cool 911

 

[Adamgp]

Cool.

 

[Razor440]

"They should have called it the Cockster."

 

[LM7325]

The fact that Porsche intentionally kept the really, really good stuff for the 911 only knocks Cayman down to Uncool.

I still wouldn't mind owning one that said.

 

[Obelisk]

Baby Porsche. Cool.

 

[MisterWaffles]

I prefer the Boxter Spyder, but it's basically the same thing with a hat.

Cool.

 

[6ranTur15m05]

Baby 911. S0.

 

[LivingWithGames]

The early one's get a cool. The newer ones, not really.

Meh it is.

 

[xyloscissor]

I cast uncool on this one, oddly enough I would prolly like it much more if was made by someone other than porsche. That is not rational but so what. Not all porsche are uncool by default but this one fits that mid'life, rich fool, mentality. Besides the fact it's no 911.

(chick car to me)

 

[05XR8]

Can't blame the car, for the parent company, fearing it would be better than the 911.

Cool.

 

[Ingram]

Brilliant car. Uncool

 

[AlvaroF]

These early Caymans are very good, no doubt, but the don't look as good as the newer ones to my eyes. Low cool.

 

[AudiMan2011]

Deliberately gimping the performance in fear of treading on the 911's toes is uncool.

 

[VXR]

In an understated colour and with one of the smarter wheel styles, I think they're easily the least try-hard sports cars out there and it doesn't really say anything about its performance.

Low cool.

 

[TheCracker]

Perhaps the only car I'd prefere to have the convertible version of.

 

[ScottPuss20]

Boxster with a roof. I really dislike the rear end and in reality it's just a cheap 911. Why bother? Uncool.
