Standard Headlights?
Am I correct in assuming that they have the wrong headlights shown on the configurator?
GTS normally has the better Xenon lights with black bezels.

Yeah, the configurator is not showing correct headlights at this time. Also, if you select Premium Package it doesn't change the headlights to LED.

Here's what I'm thinking if I go Carmine Red: http://www.porsche-code.com/PM5YD2X9 Am I overlooking anything? I'm going back and forth on the Premium Package: I've never had a complaint about the Xenon headlights, although I'm sure the LEDs are great. Upgraded sound over stock is nice however, as are the silly things that should come stock, like lights in vanity mirrors/etc.
If I go for aventurine green, I'm not sure which interior to go for. I've heard that the Natural Leather may not hold up as well over time/require more maintenance?

Carmine Red and those red black calipers are going to clash, I think. They look better in black, or I'd get them re-done in Carmine at least if you want to retain colorful brakes.
Anything that isn't leather or Alcantara on the steering wheel sucks, in my experience. That CF feels like plastic, has no grip and it's gonna be annoying in the summer.
LEDs are for sure great, get them. Wouldn't bother with LCA nor keyless entry as the latter makes the car easier to steal.
But that's just my personal opinion.

Thanks, you guys have given me something to think about. Just have to decide whether I want my original Carmine Red spec or the Aventurine Green. I love the way Carmine looks, I like the way Aventurine looks...I think. I think I need to see it in person again. If only PTS weren't $12k. I refuse to play that game.

Carmine red is a great color. GTS interior package is a must - part of what makes the GTS special. Our 981 Boxster GTS is carmine.
Personally I would not get the gold wheels.
You were more restrained than I was selecting options! Mine was about $111k. At that point I figured I should just get a GT4, so I did! LOL

The launch of the N.A. GTS 4.0 configurator was pretty sketchy with all the errors and missing bits. I think after a week its about 95% corected but its still amateur hour over there.
So to add to the mess on the Canadian info page https://www.porsche.com/canada/en/mo...xster-gts-4-0/ it shows the engine as a 'Turbocharged boxer 6'
When I pointed it out to them and suggested they change it and remove the 'Turbo' part they responded doubling down

I have a theory that PCNA jumped the gun on announcing PDK availability before Porsche itself was ready to announce it. This would explain some of the backtracking, disappearing PDK related specs, botched configurators, and lack of performance numbers for PDK variants. They should have only announced GTS 4.0 with 6MT, using a already released specs, and not mentioned PDK availability for GTS 4.0 or GT4/Spyder until Porsche was ready to announce it.

So in the USA...
718 Cayman GTS 4.0 -- $86,800
718 Boxster GTS 4.0 -- $88,900
718 Cayman GT4 -- $100,200
718 Spyder -- $97,300
Why is the convertible (Boxster) $2,100 more expensive than the coupe (Cayman) with the GTS 4.0, while being $2,900 CHEAPER with the Spyder/GT4?
Going from Cayman GTS to GT4 is a $13,400 jump.
Going from Boxster GTS to Spyder is only a $8,400 jump.
WTF?
The Cayman GTS 4.0 and the Spyder are the bargains.
The Boxster GTS 4.0 and the Cayman GT4 are too expensive in comparison.
Anyone has any idea what Porsche was thinking with this pricing?
