"Manga comic looks?" I think I should take insult to that as a 'manga comic' lover. Same could be said about your facial hair mate.

I was surprised they didn't borrow the pink convertable Micra. That thing is a sin against nature. But the Hamster did look good in it

Pretty nice, I like the comparison at the end. 1x Cayman S = 1x 370Z + 3x Pixo

I can't wait for the Cayman S vs NISMO 370Z comparos. That should be quite a contest.

Unless they compare noses

I actually was seriously pondering a used Cayman S instead of the Z, but I really didn't dig the interior. It just didn't fit me nearly as well as the Z, and the quality of the dials, etc., didn't fit my expectations for a $60K+ car.

Also, being a porsche owner just seems like it would be embarrassing somehow. Getting out of a Porsche just seems to say "I'm an annoying dweeb".

It just seems weird that the regular 370Z is being compared to the Cayman S instead of the regular Cayman in most of these. I'm guessing there is going to be very little difference between the NISMO ans the S when they go head to head (well, except the price )

I definitely thought about the Caymen before I bought the Z but in the end it just screams ”I bought a caymen because I couldn't commit for a 911". Personally I don't like driving the lowest tier model a manufacturer has to offer.

I disagree completely. The cayman chassis is far superior to the 911. Mid engine vs engine in the butt.
I'd take a Cayman S over a base 911 any day.
That lowest tier thing seems like a pretty BS pretentious excuse. The car doesn't scream that, the driver does.

PS. The F430 is the "lowest tier" Ferrari...

You obviously have NO CLUE what you are talking about. Total D-bag statement. I have a Z, Porsche, and other cars. I know my ****, you clearly do not.

What's embarrassing about driving such a quality car like that?

You're going to find far more annoying ricer type dweebs in the 350/370Zs because a lot more young drivers will be in them since it's a lot less money. I've been bumped up by more Zs and sporty cars in that price range than by cars in the Cayman's range.

Because most (not all) Porsche owners are total tools. The standard Porsche driver is a douchebag. I'm sorry, but it's true. They are often 50 year-old balding dudes who have spent their lifetimes ******* other people over and can't drive worth a crap.

I don't like Porsche's pricing strategy (ridiculously overpriced, especially for options); I don't like their poseur image, I don't really like their fanboys, who seem to think Porsches are god's gift to the automotive world, and I don't like the fact that they have deliberately kept the best car they are producing (the Cayman) down, just so it doesn't infringe on their precious (and outdated) 911. I feel like owning a Porsche is usually (but not always) about just owning an expensive car, without having the means to go whole hog and get a ferrari or something truly beautiful (AM Vantage).

Before people get their panties in a knot - yes, I've been to Porsche club track days and I've been very impressed with the cars and the drivers. Still, it is just a badge that I have never wanted on any car I own. A Carrera S was loping along in traffic next to me yesterday, and it sounded like a VW beetle around idle. For a 90K+ car, that's inexcusable to me. Those cars may sing as the revs rise, but they'll never sound like the aforementioned AM V8, a proper V12, or even the sbc in the Z06. Everyone has their version of automotive heaven, and Porsche has no place in mine...

...now a Caterham CSR - there's a true driver's car, without all the baggage.
