Yeah, I have to agree and I think I'd have a hard time spending more on something like a GTS or GT3.  I just don't see enjoying it $50K-$100K more.

Nice but I still think the Cayman is the sweet spot in the lineup.  At least that's my assumption.   :-\

For pure driving bliss, I have to agree. But I suppose if you're using your Porsche as a daily driver, the 911 could be a bit more forgiving and offer more functional interior space.

Not sure if I'd want either as a daily driver though.   I'd prefer something a little more comfortable and functional, and driving it daily would make it seem a little less special.  YMMV
