Zavo Posted March 14, 2008 Report Share Posted March 14, 2008 Noname.. Firstly.. there's an EDIT button where you can edit your post within 15 minutes of making it. If this is true.. then go for the R8. It's just a STONKINGLY beautiful car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rssh Posted March 14, 2008 Report Share Posted March 14, 2008 Hey don't buy the Cayman S it looks a hard top fitted to boxster .Also take a look at 6 series BMW .(well I reeally love porsche except the cayman) . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noname Posted March 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2008 Zavo...dint knw about the edit button...but below it says you can edit posts in this forum..newa ya the r8's beautiful and all but the thing has a 2 year waiting list..but i still dont mind waiting rssh ... ya i knw thats wat all porsche purists say but cmon its not jus a hardtop boxster ... a cayman makes the boxster look bad, i mean its lik a evolution of the boxster.. more refined, better handling,... the only drawback is that the cabins pretty noisy...so thas why kinda ranking low .... was thinkinh 911 but thats houlier than thou expensive apart from the low end 911 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rssh Posted March 14, 2008 Report Share Posted March 14, 2008 @noname the 911 is good and much better than other (obisous) .It will be helpful if you tell your budget .Also new AudiTT looks good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noname Posted March 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2008 the TT nice to look at and all but is way overpricedd .. 55 lakhs on road ... not worth it ... round 90L to 1C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5u3zEr0 Posted March 14, 2008 Report Share Posted March 14, 2008 The Cayman S its nearly a Carrera but at much lesser cost, like you have mentioned. The CLS isn't a sports car dude, it's more a cruiser and pricey at that. If you have that as an option you can as well buy the Carrerra S or the lovely M3 which again is overpriced! @ Zavo: Dude, you have forgotten that newcomers upto 50 posts don't get to edit.

noname Posted March 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2008 5u3zEr0 ya i understand...the cls is more like a grand tourer....but srsly contemplating a porshce or the audi r8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adi1991 Posted March 14, 2008 Report Share Posted March 14, 2008 importing it would cost you arounnd 1.3 to 1.4 cr. if you are intrested in saving some money......... try to find some ghundi..... if you have a hotel business that would help a lot......... try the audi dealer if he can help.... or you can go to skoda autobahn in mumbai......... ask for harshal.......... he will be able to help you in importing and in speedy deliveries......... adi19912008-03-14 20:29:56 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rssh Posted March 15, 2008 Report Share Posted March 15, 2008 @Noname if you like the cayman then go ahead and do put sat nav and bucket seats but no ceramic brakes .They make squeeek noise and you won't be driving it fast especially in India.
