especially the last question is funny RC.. who gives a sh*t what jokes are made about the car. If you want to buy one, you'll know that people even make stupid jokes about the CGT, so what? I'd just be proud that I finally worked hard enough to buy it... screw the world!

The problem is that a car like the "Cayman" has a certain target audience, I'd say buyers in the 25-35 years old range. Now if you think that these guys will be amused that people make fun of their cars... I remember that a lot of young people stopped buying an Opel because people started to call it "Popel", meaning the dirt which comes out of your nose (sorry, I don't know the english word for it).
And a young "stallion" who is on the lookout for a nice girl really doesn't want people to call his "Cayman" gay man. It is a psychological kind of thing and I hope Porsche's marketing department thought of that BEFORE they passed this name to AMS. I still have hopes that Cayman isn't the last word from Porsche.
