    I didn't realise the head lights were that different! The 997 looks a bit of a puppy compared to the Cayman.

    Actually it is not. 997S high is 1300mm with PASM and 1290mm with -20mm/LSD. Normal 997 is 1310mm, with PASM or -20mm/LSD same as 997S with these stuff(PASM is standard on 997S). Cayman S is 1305mm stock and 1295mm with PASM.

    Re: Cayman & 911 face to face

    I still like the looks of both....the Cayman does look a bit more aggresive while the 997 still retains its classic 911 look.

    I have the Cayman bumper on my Boxster... and with open roof it really looks wide and low. I'm not a big fan of the bubbly roof of the Cayman (esp. frontview).

    Its odd how the cayman looks the bigger of the two, even though it isn't.

    The 997 definitely wins from the rear end.

    Bigger? I can't see that, seems the Cayman is lower and shorter.

    TheCayman's front end (head lights and grill) really resemble the Cayenne.

    Wouldn't it be nice to own them both?

    That's the spirit :P

    Personally I think the Cayman looks great from the front and I like it better from that view. From the rear the 911 wins. Both look amazing from all angles but I have yet to see a Cayman S in person but I love the 987 Boxster.

    Re: Cayman & 911 face to face

    Recent 997 S owner here and I would like to say that indeed to my eye the cayman looks better from the front, but I too feel that the rear is somewhat lacking (maybe I like big butts).
