I am having a similar conflict about the Cayman VS the ///M4.
I admit that I am a BMW fanboy
However, I drive a E90 ///M Sport and for now we are keeping that..my wife drives it..I was really looking at the Cayman S ( I cannot afford or justify a 911 S). I even attended the PCar track event when they introduced the Cayman..HOWEVER when I saw the new ///M4 I was completely taken with it..other than the IPAD type screen and the lack of colours offered in it I like everything..
PROS for the Cayman
- I don't have kids and wont have any so I don't need a backseat
- It's a PORSCHE!!
- Awesome handling
- Really nice interior
- Many colours offered
- Screen is in the right place
- Unique vehicle many people do not have Cayman
CONS for the Cayman
- Higher finance rate
- HP is limited to 310bhp
- add a number of options in you are in 911 territory so it can get pricey quick
- no CF roof
- Maint could be very expensive
- Its a TRUE sports car not DD that you can also use like a sports car
PROS for the ///M4
- Styling is very aggressive
- Improved Interior - especially the new seats
- Gobs of BHP and low end torque
- BMW offers good rates or at least better than PORSCHE
- Its a ///M - unique vehicle
- Its a DD that doubles as sports car
CONS for the ///M4
- Completely new car and engine - issues with new MY
- It's a large coupe..
- Lack of colour choices
- Too much BHP meaning cannot use in the street - have the same issue with E90
- Many more options are included
So there you have it and why I am confused...When I price them out in Cdn $$$ they are pretty close..on the Cayman though I am not looking at many features because as I mentioned the Cayman can get up there in $$$ real quick..
I am interested in your comments and viewpoints..
PS When I do give up the E90 I will be looking at the F30 Sedan..
PPS I could wait for the ///M2
