Well, it'd be more accurate to say the Cayman is a Boxster hardtop. I don't know why this would be controversial or disagreeable. When Porsche introduced the Cayman they were very clear that it was essentially a hardtop Boxster. There was a market segment gap that they were trying to fill. The Boxster was/is their less expensive model targeted to those who want a Porsche, but can't quite afford a 911 (yet). But not everyone in that segment wants a convertible either. Enter the Cayman, for those who want a Porsche, can't afford a 911, but want a hardtop.
