How could anybody really choose without having driven a Cayman S?
Three thoughts come to mind:
(1) Nearly all Porsche production cars are evolutionary (clearly the Cayenne and Carrera GT was not). Those of us who have ordered a Cayman S have either owned or at least test driven other Porsche's before hand. Is this any different than those with orders for the 997TT or 997 GT3?
(2) My own purchasing history has been rather successful both with and without test drives before ordering; and I suspect other car enthusiasts, such as those on this board, have a pretty keen sense of what will or won't work for them. I've been fortunate to be able to buy 6 new cars since 1998, two of which I test drove before ordering/purchasing and four without. Of the two I test drove before hand, they have since been stolen/sold (Acura Type-R and Acura TL). Of the four I ordered and purchased without a test drive, I still own 3 (MINI Cooper S, S4 Avant, and Stohr DSR race car). The fourth car I ordered/purchased before test drive and has since been sold (360 Modena) was not a disappoitment, but rather didn't fit my needs any longer.
(3) What is really at risk if you end up not liking it? So you take a depreciation hit and move on; it's not like you're getting married and promising to be faithful for the rest of your life :-)
