Porsche Cayman’s Generations
The Porsche Cayman resembles the coupe version of the Porsche Boxter convertible. While the Porsche Boxter debuted in 1996, the Porsche Cayman debuted a decade later with the introduction of the second generation Porsche Boxter. The Porsche Cayman itself is currently in its second generation (the Porsche Boxter – in third). The generations of the combined model are as follows: from 1996 to 2004 – the first generation, from 2004 to 2012 – the second generation, and from 2012 – the third generation.
Porsche Cayman’s Future
The Porsche Cayman combines affordable price for a Porsche with great performance that is close to the top-of-the-line Porsches. That’s why the model is rather popular and its future is bright. Even if the demand for sports cars will decline in the future, the Cayman will suffer less than more expensive analogues.
