Any Cayman S first impressions?

Here in California the Cayman S went on sale yesterday. Any first impressions from lucky owners or drivers?


Local dealer had instructor led autocross Cayman-demo. I took it out for 6 laps and I could not stop smiling when I was done. I could do no wrong, I kept going faster every lap. If I didn't love my 911 so much, I think it would have been an easy sell.

Well it's as hot looking in person as it is on TV.

I saw it in person for the first time at the Los Angeles auto show, havn't driven one yet so I can't comment there, but I'm not sure I like the styling changes they made over the Boxster, especially the fascia. I would've been happy if they'd just afixed a permanent roof to the

987's body myself, I really like the way they look. However, I did really dig the front trunk/rear hatch setup, makes it a quite functional car. Obviously, it's not capable of carrying more than 2 people, but if you don't have kids or can afford to also own a larger car, the Cayman seems like it'd be a perfectly adequate daily driver for one or two people to use, it's got enough space for suitcases and such so driving it to work shouldn't be an issue. I just wonder if a golf bag would fit.
