Exterior - What the Auto Press Says

Like its drop-top sibling, the Boxster, auto journalists report that the Cayman is a definite knock-out.

  • "Porsche has a history of creating memorable automotive statements, but the Cayman's definitive combination of sensual form and delightful details seems destined to ensure it a place in the marque's Hall of Fame." -- Kelley Blue Book
  • "For those of you who aren't Porsche diehards, the Cayman is essentially a Boxster with a steel coupe roof and a hatchback. Porsche claims that as a result of the steel surgery, torsional rigidity doubles." -- Automobile Magazine
  • "The voluptuous rear fenders are marginally higher than the Boxster's and outboard of the coupe's strongly tapered cabin (and the relatively narrow hatchback), creating a gorgeous dip between fender and body." -- Car and Driver
  • "Outside, Cayman amazes and delights without overwhelming. The straightforward slant of the roof and the protruding snout that seems ever to be looking for more road to eat are echoes of the 911. But the rear fenders are sensual beyond decency. They arrest the eye and give the mind pause: Is this a Porsche or Ferrari or some obscure custom machine or what? " -- USA Today
