offering this hot-rod Cayman S and will not say when they will
offer an entry level model.

manual gearbox with a double inertia flywheel and hydraulic

Management is an electronic damping control system that is an

ride and it improves stability and grip for sharper steering
responses.

continuous indication of mileage, time and speed, automatic
climate control, digital radio with in dash CD and a 7 speaker
Bose Surround Sound System.
	Porsche expects the new Cayman S to attract the upwardly mobile
market. The company expects that Cayman buyers will be customers
moving up from the Porsche Boxster
