Sounds about right to me. Most women would not want a 370Z, at least with the manual trans.

Handling aside, the main point is lighter.

That shopping cart handle wing is adorable!
The Z has better lines and more aggressive wide fenders.

Looks: 370z

Driving: Caymen S

Now if this were a 911 GT3 or something along those lines, Porsche would take the looks as well!

I like the Cayman more than most of you but I'd still have to say the Z. The Z just looks more aggressive. The Cayman is more of a chick car.

/my 2 cents

The Cayman looks more feminine to me, smooth curves and big round eyes. The Z just looks tough.

Really? Comments like that come from the closet.

the question is about as subjective as it gets. If you like aggressive design you will prefer the Z. Cayman has rounder lines that are more classic in shape.

I happen to own both. The Z has an enormous ***. The 987 is timeless. The new 981 has a bit more sharp in it. I am not wild about the new tail light integration. Subjectivity

Porsche is my fav. brand, but the Cayman is ugly IMO. I can't stand the Boxster/Cayman look.

So, to answer your question: The Z.

There are positives and negatives from both cars in looks.
pre-2013

Side profile. Z
3/4 rear. Z

Front. Porsche
front 3/4 tie

Rear Z

car height. Porsche
Stance. Porsche.
Car length. tied

Wheel design Z.
Exhaust outlet Z.

I guess Z by a narrow margin.

But this new 2013/14cayman now... I say Porsche by a narrow margin
