Multiple pics of vehicles from the losers in Detroit and fancy concepts from all over, and not a single photo of the new PRODUCTION Cayman model from Porsche - the most profitable car maker in the world. The new Cayman has PDK (Porsche's double-clutch automatic transmission) and DFI to boost horsepower, cut emissions and improve mileage. Lousy coverage.
