Nice. I really want to see how much AUDI can extract/learn from Porsche so they'll be 'admitted' onto my shopping list for next car.

RWD is a good start.

They will be able to learn a lot from Porsche's dynamics. It can give a sportier edge to all sporty Audi's throughout the lineup that's for sure. As for a lighter Cayman it only means it can perform even better for such a small car. The Cayman S is one of my favorite Porsche's besides the turbo and the gt3rs.
