i was just reading this on another website and thought this guy had an interesting point: Regardless of your opinion of the Cayman's styling or its relevance to the Porsche "universe", the oft heard criticism about its pricing may not be justified. Consider that in terms of USA MSRP: 1) The C2 Cab is essentially the same price as the 997S 2) A 997S with X51 will cost more than a 997S Cab 3) The "base" Cayman will most certainly be priced less than the 987S The common theme is that Porsche demands a premium for horsepower no matter how incremental (insubstantial??) the increase. The argument that a hardtop by nature should cost less than a convertible does not apply to other Porsche models when HP is taken into consideration. It may be more forthright to simply state that one does not care for the car (for any of a number of reasons) rather than to label it a poor value compared to its ragtop sibling based on the pricing structure of both 987 and 997.

Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

What is code for the Cayman? not 996, not 997, not 987 then what?
C7S
987/120 is Porsche's internal code for the Cayman. It is a 987 chasis.
How do you guys know all this?
987/120 is the code shown on the order. Have your dealer print out a copy.
i think this guy is making a pricing point, not a point about what the cayman internal code is
