    Frankfurt Auto Show

    I am sure this has been answered, but couldn't find using the search option. Will the Cayman be introduced at Frankfurt Auto Show in September?

    Can those of you going please take lots and lots of photos of the Cayman? I desperately want to see one in another colour besides silver.

    Isn't the interior the same as the Boxster? Having said that, I wouldn't mind more pics of the boot area.

    So would I......but I bet you they show up with mostly silver on cocoa, terracotta, etc.....pretty much what we have seen in brochures and release photos. Have to wait and see I guess.....

    Just checked the Bugatti homepage http://www.bugatti-cars.de/bugatti/.
    Looks nice and the numbers are amazing.
    What I dont get is who this caar is for?...I mean besides filthy rich people.
    The style and design of the homepage signals "heritage, tradition, style, class, comfort", yet when you watch their infomercials, a home shopping network voiceover makes it all sound like you're buying a two-fer pack of Regaine???

    The narrator also points out "the Bugatti Veryron is built from advanced materials that help to keep the weight in limit. Something that is important for a sportscar". Kinda duh! for someone who has ever opened a car magazine.
    Who is this car for? The Sultan of Brunai's 5th wife?

    1001 bhp and 1250 Nm. Holy cow. Hopefuly the suspension will also deliver.

    Bugatti Veyron Video

    Hey Doc Phil

    Do we always do things for a reason? Not me, in anycase, sometimes I just do things for the hell of it! Maybe they Veyron is something VW is doing for the hell of it, just because they can

    Here is a video of the Veyron going around a track, I don't know if anyone has posted this before, but oh well better safe than sorry

    BTW this thing sounds like a JET FIGHTER!!

    Hi Echelon. I think the Cayman goes on sale immediately after Frankfurt in Europe, and around January for you and I who are not on the European continent.

    Hi there. I have no idea who you are, and you are really testing my memory there! I see you have a SY 987. Nice! Love the sound of the 987. I drop by Mini2 from time to time still. Ok now you have to tell me who you are. You gonna buy a Cayman? I think they will be great!

    Re: Frankfurt Auto Show

    no way I am getting a Cayman. would never pay more for a fixed roof.

    I love the convertible. I m sure u do too with ur 986S.
    nothing beats top-down motoring on a sunny Saturday....

    I test drove both S and non-S 987. Me definitely happy with the non-S. u can read my review in the Boxster forum a while back...

    as for who I am.....
    hint: (nickname used to be d**d**)

    Re: Frankfurt Auto Show

    Both Mini S drivers and Boxster drivers hv one thing in common.

    1) good taste
    2) appreciate good handling

    I didnt hv a JCW (tho I actually ordered the kit but cancelled it...), but I thoroughly enjoyed my MCS.
    but my 987 just leaves it for dead....

    Yup, any Porsche would leave the MCS for dead. But it is a fun car and I know of a few Boxster/911 owners wno also have a Cooper S.

    I always say that those are the poor (like me) enthusiasts choices...





    these two cars you really feel the driving, tremendous handling and value. The poor enthusiasts choices...
