If the deals are good enough, I'm in the market for a new Cayman S or Cayman triptronic for my wife this Christmas. If anyone here comes across a great deal, please email me. Thanks.

I notice you live in Illinois. Maybe we bought at the same dealer (Napleton). My 2007 Cayman S had an MSRP of $66,000. I got it for $59,000.

November 2007 sales were the 2nd lowest month ever for the Cayman (Feb 07 lowest on record). Sales of Caymans are down, but so are sales for all Porsche sports cars, only the Cayenne is up currently.

A lot of people are waiting for the 911 facelift version, with the dual clutch transmission and uprated direct injection engine. Seems that the Singapore dealer has already taken in orders for the facelifted version without having any details on the actual specification, so 911 sales are at its peak, but only for the new version.

Looking at it from a different perspective, if Cayman/Boxster variants came out like 911 variants have, the 987 line would be doing very good.

The only thing keeping 997 sales moving up is the introduction of GT3 and Turbo version. Count the Targa intro and 987 sales held much better than 997 sales.

Let's see....PAG introduces a Targa Cayman, AWD versions, Turbo's, CS's & GT versions....sales would definitely improve. Counting out Targa's, AWD's and Turbo's leaves which sales enhancer to be introduced next?????

i've been following porsche since the early days - before the 911 even existed - and it seems to me that if or when this model adapts/adopts a mid-engine platform in place of its current and historic rear-engine platform, the 911 will have died. it can't be a 'real' 911 without its engine in the rear.

i think the 911 lasts only as long as the baby-boomer demand for it does. once that fades, the car will, too.

I don't believe the 911 platform will transition to a mid-engine platform either, because it will no longer be a 911. Don't get me wrong. I would love to see a 911 mid-engine car.

Not only was Nov 07 the second lowest month, but it showed a drop of 36% from Nov 06. May give credence to the speculation that Porsche is going to cut production to maintain demand.

**K-Man S** · #70 (**permalink**) 12-22-2007, 03:59 AM

Actually Porsche did cut production in 07 vs. 06.

Production 2005/2006
Boxster: 14,383 Units
Cayman: 16,297 Units

Production 2006/2007:
Boxster: 11,727 Units
Cayman: 14,985 Units

Boxster was actually cut more in terms of outright and as a %.

Looks like the holidays were good for buying Caymans, sales jumped 58% in December!

**K-Man S** · #72 (**permalink**) 02-05-2008, 05:38 AM

Looks like sales were still good in Jan 08, in fact much better than Jan 07, whereas 911's and Cayennes were both off a fair amount vs. 07.

Could we be seeing the effect of the Design Edition 1 Caymans?
