2008 Porsche Cayman Road Test Ratings

Nearly as capable, just as attractive and more affordable than a 911. Both Cayman and Cayman S versions are available for 2007.

Near-911 acceleration and better handling for less money.

Passengers treated to excellent seats and an unpunishing ride. Mid-mounted engine doesn't add to the interior noise level much.

Heavily button-laden navigation and audio controls in an otherwise logical cabin. Good front trunk space.

Sexy hips are a welcome addition to the classic Porsche shape.
