The Boxster has the same issues. Aside from the lettering, the new spoiler and center backup light with the integrated fog makes it a bit congested back there in combination with the lettering, especially the cursive "Boxster S," which doesn't blend well with all the linear horizontal design elements. If there was a numerical difference between the Cayman and Boxster, "PORSCHE" with "981" would work for one of them, even as a cursive, and the hypothetical three digit number would work for the other. As it is, I've ordered mine with the model delete option, so it will just say "PORSCHE." That's the important part anyway. Cognoscenti will recognize certain differences between the two, such as the S's twin tailpipes and a slightly different level of leather trim in the interior, even with the partial leather configuration. By the way, the 3D configurator reveals that the word Porsche changes vertical position depending on whether or not the model designation is present. (By the way, it also "lowers" the car when PASM is applied.)
