Ghostvette, 2018 Caymans maybe turbo 4's read it online, so I went to the local Porsche dealer on Friday to confirm. Take it for whatever it's worth but the sales person told me that was his understanding for model year 2017 & on. 2016 maybe the last model year for the boxster 6 engine in the Caymans.

I'm okay with a turbo 4, as long as the power is there. If not, well, I guess it's off to the tune shop to squeeze out the horsepower and torque.

I know that 2017 is supposed to be the first year of the redesigned 911, Cayman & Boxster, so that's why I picked the 2018. It let's them get any 'bugs' worked out and it gives the aftermarket time to get goodies together.

Yes supposed to have higher hp & tq than current 6.

Porsche's have some years where their cars become collectables, ex the last year of their air cooled models. 2016 N/A Caymans may fall in that category in the future. If it could fit two golf bags in it, I would seriously consider it.

Waiting for the 2nd year is never a bad thing.
