Cayman are great cars, but I am just not sure if it is much of an upgrade over the 370. The car is more nimble, has a better sounding engine, more refined, nice than the 370. Yet the trade off doesn't seem to justify the cost. Of course you can say the same about the 350 HR owners jumping to 370. If you can afford it and you want it, I don't think you will be sad over the move. At the same time, don't expect anything more than the Porsche nametag.

The Cayman feels way more nimble than the Z, with almost the same power to match.

The Corvette is the same width as the 370, but it feels a lot bigger and wider. The Corvette is a LOT quicker than the 370. Now that's an upgrade in terms of performance, yet there was something about the car I personally didn't feel comfortable with it. Maybe it's the attention or just the fact the car is scary to drive fast. I am getting too old to crash into things, I will stick with my slow 370. Personally the car I would get is the Audi TTS, but once again I would be paying money for an AWD drivetrain without much gain in performance overall.
