I got an email last night from a friend who attended Wednesday night's Porsche party at the LA Auto Show. He sent me a photo of the MSRP info display in front of the world premiere Peridot Metallic Cayman R that reads "MY2012", not MY2011. I sent that photo to my dealer and this morning PCNA confirmed to him that the Cayman R will be a MY2012, not a MY2011. MY dealer will be able to 'custom order' MY2012 Cayman R for his customers starting with the next allocation batch he will get from PCNA in January.

So that means (I believe) we will see current Boxster/Cayman platform continue 'as is' for MY2012. And that might mean we will also see a MY2012 Boxster Spyder too. Because of this new information (Cayman R will be a MY2012), I believe we can expect to see the new Boxster/Cayman platform as a MY2013 (not a MY2012) that will probably be announced late in 2011 and produced/delivered starting in spring of 2012 an an 'early' model introduction. z356 (Montecito/Santa Barbara on way to LA Auto Show)

 

although this is probably true, dont forget the 996TT was still for sale in 2005.
