That's amazing, we must have some more pictures Would love to hear some of your initial thoughts about it. Some Clear Side Markers would look good too.

Agree on clear side markers, especially in that color. Great looking!

Thanks guys. This is my first Porsche other than the 944 I had back in early 20's. The 944 was the only other Porsche I had driven, so I don't have much to compare it to. I was driving a Camaro RS before the Cayman. Huge difference obviously.

I did test drve a 2010 Cayman before driving this one. Couldn't really do enough around town to tell how much of a difference there was in handling between the two. The 2014 is certainly more comfy and more roomy inside. The exhaust note sounds a bit cooler, non-sport exhaust on both. You can hear more of the engine note begind your head also. The overall layout inside feels better to me also.

Mine doesn't have a ton of options...

Black partial leather seats
19 inch Boxster S wheels
Seat ventilation (this will be nice here in the south)
Bi-Xenon headlights with PDLS
Sport Design steering wheel
14-way power sport seats
Premium Package
Bose Infotainment Package w/ Surround Sound

Saw it on the Dealer's showroom floor and it looks very nice. Got invited for a test drive and lunch next week so looking forward to test driving it. Hope they let me take it out for a 24 hour test drive like they did with the new Boxster launch. Congrats on your new purchase. Hope you have scratch and swirl remover kit ready. Black cars are a pain in the rear end.

Going to the roll out/test drive session at my dealer on Sat. Can't wait. As an ex NSX owner, I've always loved the Cayman. And the models I saw at the LA Auto show were just stunning in person.

Next to the Carrera GT, I've always thought the Cayman was the sexiest car Porsche makes. The new one looks fantastic. Congrats on your new, sexy ride! Did you get it at the Triad store in Greenville?

Yeah, haven't had a black car in a while and already starting to remember why. This one came from Leith Porsche in Cary. All they had in stock was black and white. Black looks so good when it's clean and shiny, but so hard to keep that way. And on that subject, any suggestions for good scratch/swirl removal products or techniques?
