Sounds like he's simply being honest...
I think people who buy Porsches mostly understand the concept and value of "a drivers' car", and the message I get from his selection of the Cayman is simply that what's important to him personally is the POE ("(Purity of Essence") ) of the Porsche experience, and that can arguably be best realized with something like the Cayman R.
Those who want a 911 or a Panamera or a Pepper know why the want it, and the fact some suit prefers the Cayman is not likely to result in a down-sell for those customers, IMO. If anything, the entire episode seems to be designed to empower each individual to choose the car that best matches his/her personality, and critics of that option can go take a hike. I think it's refreshing.
