The Cayman is missing the rear seats of the 911, which still drive sales more than 50 years after Porsche decided that their new model would be a 2+2. Sure the seats are small and mostly useless, but they do increase the ability to use the car on a day to day basis. There's little doubt the Cayman can be a better car (in part because it hasn't gained mid-life flab, but also because it is mid-engined) If Porsche still built a small, nimble 911 it would be much like the Cayman. But as the range-leader, it had to grow bigger and bigger and now does not resemble the market space the original model occupied. The AC on the 1990 onwards cars is OK, and it can be fixed with aftermarket parts on the earlier cars.
