Also, at least in the US, it's a very youth targeted car -- especially the FR-S.

Anyway, very curious to learn what the new competition from Nissan will be...
I think you nailed it with that "cone dodger-youth target". For the performance thats exactly what it is. And its good and fun!! Seeing it Sebring changed my view of it. Again, that being said, I think a $22-$24K OTD is a more acceptable price point. Im curious to see what Nissan brings to the table. The older I get the more $ i have (Thank God), I might be in the market for a Cayman S in two years. Then again, I wouldnt mind sticking with Nissan if they could offer Porsche performance for a 1/3 the price (albeit 1/10 the refinement).
