Facit:

A clear victory for the Porsche Cayman S. In the dynamic Criteria leaves the revised central engine Porsche the SLK no chance. The better Suspension comfort, the alternatively open roof and the clearly lower price speak however for Mercedes. The reinrassigere sports car is the Porsche. By the new engine and the new transmission became the Cayman still more sharply, more porschiger. Briefly a car, which is worth nearly each sin.
