I like the Cayman more than most of you but I'd still have to say the Z. The Z just looks more aggressive. The Cayman is more of a chick car.

/my 2 cents

The Cayman looks more feminine to me, smooth curves and big round eyes. The Z just looks tough.

Really? Comments like that come from the closet.

the question is about as subjective as it gets. If you like aggressive design you will prefer the Z. Cayman has rounder lines that are more classic in shape.

I happen to own both. The Z has an enormous ***. The 987 is timeless. The new 981 has a bit more sharp in it. I am not wild about the new tail light integration. Subjectivity

Porsche is my fav. brand, but the Cayman is ugly IMO. I can't stand the Boxster/Cayman look.

So, to answer your question: The Z.

There are positives and negatives from both cars in looks.
pre-2013

Side profile. Z
3/4 rear. Z

Front. Porsche
front 3/4 tie

Rear Z

car height. Porsche
Stance. Porsche.
Car length. tied

Wheel design Z.
Exhaust outlet Z.

I guess Z by a narrow margin.

But this new 2013/14cayman now... I say Porsche by a narrow margin

Cayman S owner in my condo building actually came up to me while i was washing my Z and said he would have liked his Cayman to look as aggressive as my Z

That was all i needed to hear

I like them though overall

I'm going to say 370Z because it just looks more aggressive in all aspect - front, side and rear. But if you're a little older, you may like the styling of the Cayman. If I ask this question to a 23 year old, he will instantly pick the Z. But if same question asked to a 31 year old male, he may pick the Cayman. I wish Z had the (sports pack) rear spoiler. I feel that makes the Z look better.

Overall everything. I prefer to own a new Z than a used cayman. But a used 911? I would have to think long and hard depending on the 911 model and specs.
