Cayman S w/ standard 18s (and maybe PASM) is pretty practical (2 trunks), comfortable DD if you don't need to carry more than 2 people, or deal with bad winters. on the other hand many cayman club members have reported that the Cayman is good in the snow with a set of snow tires.

I would wait until January or February and get the new '09 Cayman S thats coming out. 330HP, DFI, PDK tranny, facelift, new nav system, bluetooth, iPod connector, voice activation... will be a big difference!

Funny thing...
2 weeks ago I got a call from an Audi Dealership and they told me they had an S5 available for immediate shipment. I stressed over it the entire night. I let myself sleep on it and when I woke up on Saturday, what I needed to do was crystal clear. I had gone 4 months without a Porsche and I was miserable. So as planned, the Porsche dealership sent a car to pick me up and I bought the Cayman and I've never been happier. The purchase experience was something I'll never forget. I am so proud and fortunate to have another Porsche. As for the S5, its a nice car, but I wouldnt have been happy with it like I am with the Cayman.
