Ah yes, forgot the "more color options."

I'll add that.

It has to be. The second picture looks like nothing but trouble and no warranty...

The cost of both are fixed and predictable. One is a derivative of MSRP and the other is a flat 50% of your stuff plus fees.

Yup, that's a big one. Not only a lot more standard/configurator colors, but PTS.

I didn't realize PAG was making customers pay for options now. And I'm pretty sure the rear badge and door decals (and door sills and center gauge, etc.) give people the general idea as to the car being a GTS.

I'm very aware they do... I have 30k of them in my 991 and 20k of them in my Macan.

Paying to "communicate" what model it is is a joke regardless.

This is my last reply as this is getting silly. You don't need to check the box if you don't want the *optional* package. And there is no need to get hung up on the word "Communication" in the package name. The package is a collection of interior trim components and details, which, judging from the "GTS interior pics" thread, many find appealing. Even the embroidered "GTS" on the seat head rests (the main part of the package that "communicates" GTS) comes standard with the leather/Alcantara sports seats at $0.
