Model 3 already looks better, is cheaper, and I'd guess it probably performs better. Also, this thing looks useless from a utility perspective. It has no cargo space and it only seats a single passenger.
Respectfully, you don't buy a Porsche for utility. The exception being their SUV's. Performs better? Can I assume you're not a car guy? That's not a knock and I hope you don't take it that way, but the statement makes me think you views cars as more a mode of transportation than an experience. Nothing wrong with that perspective either.

The Model 3, like the Model S, will never be considered performance vehicles. As for looks, Tesla better fix that nose. Holy smokes it's...

Beautiful. I'll take an S with the manual please
Yup. The Cayman is Porsche's best performance value by far. It would be even better if they didn't have to keep the performance envelope below the 911.

On topic: Having the Porsche Connect App just makes Car Play seem like a superfluous "ticking off a box" just to say it's on there.

/heads to the configurator to turn a $60K car into a $100K car. Porsche is the king of add-ons

What are you talking about?

One is a purpose built sports car and one is a mass market sedan/hatch thing.

Why are you comparing apples and oranges?

All I know is that I think the Cayman is by far the most beautiful car currently in production.
Yeah, it's up there. I love the 981.1/2. I used to hate the 987 Cayman.

Tesla is the one who has the nose figured out. Porsche has the ugly design which they had to go with because their engine doesn't function without the holes.
Um.... the Cayman is not front-engined, It's mid-engined/rear wheel drive.

What are you going on about? You clearly don't know what you're talking about.
