The new Cayman R.

Oh dear, I've just touched cloth! This has got to be the purrfect 2-seater fast road car and even has flappy paddles (and DRL's).

How come it is called the R, and not the RS?

[Greeners]

Meh 

[andrewparker]

Meh 

I agree. They've saved weight by removing the aircon, and the stereo, both things I'd say are essential in a fast road car.

Bad move with the name too.

Yep, I'll be having that, thanks!

Obviously with Climate & radio specced, I'm not insane!

still a cheap mans porsche.

....Oh, so you'd refuse to have one would you.

I never use Aircon except the demist (if that's all the same system) and you can have it as an extra option anyway. I wouldn't want the radio and would fit an Alpine SatNav.

Having bust my aircon last time out in Germany, there's no way in fricking hell I'd be without it - I felt ill it was that hot and stuffy.

Sacrilege - The car couldn't be less worthy of the R badge if they tried. Once again marketing have trampled all over heritage.

(And I was already annoyed as I've seen the GT5 car list today, what an absolute joke that is as well!)

....Listen to you. Doesn't the Porsche in your parents house belong to daddy?

It's horses for courses and I see this Cayman R as a more practical road car than the more powerful Porsches. ETTO.

....Deary me!    So much fuss over just a badge. Would you be happier if Porsche called it the RS?

A 911 cabrolet isn't even a real Porsche, never mind a poor man's.

Yes, because it would be more accurate.

Agreed ETTO but I still fail to see how, cost aside, a sure-footed AWD 911 Turbo with room inside, plus a usable boot space, sat-nav, air-con and adjustable suspension (read - comfortable) is less practical than a stripped out Cayman? It's even got a smaller tank, so has less range.
