Default will the new 2013 Porsche Cayman sway you Lexus buffs

...I don't know how to delete this thread, ignore me. Different type of car, not a fair comparison.

Saying a Porsche Cayman is more attractive than the GS is like saying an Aston Martin is better looking than a Ford F150.

Imo thats a bit harsh statement. I agree apples to oranges but better saying aston Martin is better looking than audi a8 to be in line with cayman vs gs350 in same respect. Not to mean gs is like a f150 per se.

Yes the new Cayman is hawt. Gives it more
of a 911 look. I really did not care for the
previous model. I too am looking for a 2 door.
The LF-CC/RC 350 could be it. Hard to beat a Porsche.

Wasn't meant to denigrate the GS, I just picked at random two polar opposite vehicles to make the point.

Btw, several of us Porsche owners have bought the new Lexus GS350, myself included. I own a 911 (2009 Carrera S pdk), and chose the AWD F-sport as my second/winter car.

Well I'm a Porsche nut.. Just no Porsche.

They have done an incredible job on the new Boxster and now new Cayman.

I love this thread, because while these two cars are totally different, the Cayman (and the 4Runner, and a brief interest in the E350 Coupe) were my other choices had I not got the 4GS.

IMO, the previous gen Cayman was gorgeous and I still wouldn't rule out picking one up in a few years. That being said, the latest Boxster is quite the looker and a huge improvement over the previous gen. I'm hoping that the same can be said about the new Cayman. I've seen the pictures and while it's handsome, I wasn't blown away. I'll need to see one in person before I make the final call.

While this thread was totally off-topic, thanks op for bringing it up, as

Just saw my first new Boxster and I loved how it looked. The Cayman can only look better. Ex-Porsche as well.
