Top Gear 370Z v. Cayman article

I still can't get what Jeremy Clarkson said about the Cayman or "cockster". Porsche did an amazing job making the "cockster" fit inbetween the Boxster and 911 in every category; engine size, horsepower, price, and performance. He was pissed that they took a car that could have been so much more, and made it "enough". BTW am I the only one who things the "cockster" is hideous from the back??

I love Top Gear, and Clarkson can be very funny, but some of his opinions are hard to understand. But, it's those crazy statements that make the show worth watching sometimes.

Oh, and the Cayman rear would look great as the front end of some other car

But otherwise, yeah, it looks a little VW Beetle-ish.
