Out of interest, why does everyone say the Cayman (a 2 seater), not the Boxter (same price range as a 1er) or a Carrera (a 4 seater).

EDIT: Okay, so it seems the Cayman is the same price as a Boxter in the USA so it's the classic coupe vs convertible thing ... even when a soft-top performs every bit as good. (In Australia the Boxter's cheaper)

But the field of 2 prestigious sports cars is pretty vast - If you only needed 2 seats, what made you choose a 1er?
