    Au contraire, the Cayman was driven the same week as the Honda Civic, and that won 5th Gear family car of the year.

    For me The Boxster was and IS A WINNER from the beginning !!!
    Styling + Handling + Performance... !!!
    AND I love those summerevening OPEN TOP drives, for me and IMHO NO Cayman or other Coupe can beat that feeling !!!

    I agree Freak.

    There are better sports cars than the Cayman AND the Boxster obviously. But the Boxster is a special combination of fun and sportiness, not too serious but not too much of a sissy either.

    So the "S" must be even better than the winner then?
    I am sure Fifth Gear meant the Boxster whichever version. Not the Cayman, of course.
