718 GTS vs. 911 T
 
So this discussion doesn't get buried in the Autoblog trash heap.

I would take the 911T since i still have use for the rear seats and prefer the sound of the 6 even though the Cayman is probably dynamically superior.

Edit: now after I wrote above I actually way prefer the T, if I had the money I might get but new Cayman has no interest to me. Actually I would prefer a used cayman with the 6 over a new one. Guess if you offered me a free new one or a used one I would probably take a new one:D

Cayman. Not even remotely close.

Yes!

I don't suppose there's a way to automatically promote spambot threads once someone has started a conversation, eh?

Clyde is always looking for something to do, right?

I'm really looking forward to test driving the 718 next week. While there are a lot of haters, there's a small group of folks who really like it.

This dealer has one Cayman they use as a loner. I couldn't use it this time because it's book the month out, but I might make an appointment for a squeak / rattle just as an excuse to bring the Cayman home for a day.

I've been window shopping 981 GTS boxsters over the last month or so. Seems like they are on the 'fair' end of the Porsche price fantasy.

The ones I saw on autotrader were still crack pipe pricing.

For Rumatt: (the racing buckets were very uncomfortable, with no recline function -- don’t order them).

Referring to the 911T.

Edit: A $20k delta between the two is pretty significant.
