What would you pick?
The new Audi TTRS of the Cayman S. I am sure the Audi will cost $10k more....

Will the TTRS come to America? It has a HP advantage over the Cayman, and it looks new and exciting. Something tells me you can wring out the engine and suspension on the Cayman with less risk of breakdown though, so I'd pick the Cayman

They have spy shots of the car is AZ. So the rumor is yes....its coming. I would guess that the Cayman suspension would be better, but that 5C turbo can make BIG HP.

It'd have to be the Cayman for me, I'd get tired of picking leaves, household pets and small children out of those air vents on the RS

In Europe a nicely specced TT-RS is cheaper than an equivalent Cayman S.

I'll go with the Cayman and its mid-engine layout.

The Audi is cool, but it's not a Porsche. I've owned an Audi and loved it, but it just doesn't have that certain something that a Porsche has. I can't really define it. Go for the Cayman!

I can't give a non bias answer, as I've never actually been behind the wheel of an Audi. But given the looks.....I'd pick the Cayman. Plus...like they say...

"Porsche. There is no substitute". =)

As stated before....Audi is cool, but NOT comparable to a Porsche...go for the Cayman.
