Exige 410 v. Cayman GTS v. TT RS: Pic of the Week

This is PH's Bank Holiday bonanza of a group test - here's a new wallpaper to whet the appetite

---

Does it frustrate you when people say new cars are all the same these days? It does us. Which is why, among other reasons, it was nice to bring these three cars together. Because despite their common sports coupe remit, between TT, Cayman and Exige you have a front-engined, five-cylinder, all-wheel drive car, a mid-engined, rear-drive, turbocharged flat-four and a supercharged V6 in a mid-engined, RWD car. All quite different then, yet all tasked with delivering as much fun, performance and style as possible. Because that's what you want in a sports car, isn't it?

There was plenty to discover in this test - is the GTS the best version of the four-cylinder Cayman yet? And does that make it good enough to tackle another Exige derivative? What can the more affordable TT bring to the party? Did Audi actually make it rain on the south coast to hinder its rivals?

Answers to three out of those four questions will be forthcoming over the weekend, when the group test is published. For now here's chance to eye up the contenders, where Olive Green takes on Catalunya Red and, er, Crayon. Place your bets now!

Usually a fan of the POTW regardless of its subject matter but this is just a bad picture that is really poorly composed. Is the picture archive that empty that this is the best choice?
