PMNA don't order exact number of cars, there will be leftovers on top of the 'returns'.

It really isn't that hard to buy one. Some times it just takes time and patience and perhaps keep trying.

Being nice and convincing also helps. PMNA, as an extension of PCNA, don't play games like 3rd party dealers do.

Right now everyone is preparing for the ROAR and the 24hrs of Daytona. After that there might be cars available for purchase.
Yeah from what I heard PMNA is a dream to work with compared to some of the stealers out there.

Yup, no ADM and up front with you. Granted getting a car is just as hard if not harder like people have mentioned above.

Stupid. What did someone with a brain to expect to happen at the point of air intake?

Disagree in context of the car it's on. On a "typical" GT4/Spyder/GTS I'd prefer understated. On an RS model it's kind of the point to be "extra".

The Weissach stitching on the headrests is still relatively understated while also calling out that you've paid an extra 5 figures for a particular package. I kind of like it on this car and other RS's... which happens to be the only time you'd ever see it anyway.

I'm well aware of which car it's on and the obligatory Weissach branding if you tick that box. I'm not a fan of the green stitching everywhere and the green door pulls. Because everything has to match, right? It still looks lame to me irrespective of the vehicle it's on.

I personally went in the complete opposite direction, paid extra for black deviated stitching and will replace headrests with porsche crests after the fact because cxx pricing was nutty.

This 4RS for sale at Porsche Riverside came across my mail feed earlier today....

Kind of a super weird build. The combo of Shark blue, Weissach package, 18-way seats instead of LWCB, and "Bespoke Decal Package" in number 356 just seems incongruous... Also seems very much *not* the build you would select if not keeping it, but none of that is stopping them from putting a $100K premium on it.

I wonder what the 356 stands for?

IMO, first thing to do is remove that sticker.
