I bought a Cayman S back in 2006 and loved it apart from:

1) Too much tyre noise on the motorway (I was trying to use the car as my 'main' car and hence sitting on the m-way a lot).
2) In reality I was too big for it (6'5").

I had the seat all the way back/down with manual seats to give max leg room possible but still had to take my shoes off to drive comfortably (leg room rather than size of feet in footwell).

Due to these factors I got rid of the car a lot quicker than I had planned. I'm starting to plan the next car purchase in 1-3 years time and was wondering if anyone knew when the 987 replacement would be launched and any specs/information on it.....

Do a search - there's a few threads about the new Boxster which will probably appear late next year I think - the Cayman sometime thereafter. The idea, I think, is move them upmarket slightly and I can see them being a tiny bit bigger, and then release a sub-Boxster roadster that shares parts with VW and Audi's versions of the same car... Plenty of spy shots and even leaked press shots of the Box are out there. And to my eyes it looks great. Not so much about the Cayman yet though.

2012 - New Boxster
