It has been on the Pork config for a day or 2 now.  no 350 horses, a bit less power than the last one. Just specced mine to 60,000 bags of sand.  :rolleye:

You cant say the dealers wont earn there money. It would only let me pick tinted window if i bought fancy carpets for £250.  :grin: Think i will wait the 4 years for the R version. The launch yellow is tasty though.  :party:

I like it... but is it really better than the M135i?

that's just because the GTI is a very all round good car. a few years ago Car magazine did a test with a few top end cars (R54, R8, Porsche 911 GT3) and took a GTI along as an everyman benchmark

the GT3 had a hard time losing the GTI on twisty B roads according to them. on a track it would be no contest, but in the real world there wasn't much separating a family hatch from a purpose built lightened sports car costing 4x the price.

So this must mean a turbo Boxster one day fairly soon...

Interesting concept making the straight 6 with a turbo (or a couple of turbos) more commonly used in the Porsche model range.

Seriously though, I love the new Cayman shape, it is utterly gorgeous. I can really see the Cayman becoming the more focussed sports car (it probably is already) and the 911 maturing to more of a GT.

I'd have a new Cayman over an M135i any day of the week - no matter what any Journo review says or how fast an M135i is or isn't compared to it. I think I'd still prefer an N/A with the sport chassis.

I had a new Boxster for a few hours a couple of weeks back, and I absolutely fell in love with it.

Shame you can't get 2 adults, a child and a buggy in one  :sad:
