So, he basically talked alot and said nothing?

He confirmed that Porsche didn’t tell the dealers there will be no more 4RS allocations.

Well, that's certainly one way to read it.

This is like the Rorschach test for Porsche-speak

What we need is a Porsche-Speak secret decoder ring. Maybe when we finally get to the end of this thread, i.e. when the allocations have all been... allocated... someone can create a "Dealer said X, meaning reality is Y" list for the next time we go through years of this, LOL!

Point is, my SA said Porsche says no more allocations, and GM subsequently said no, we weren’t told that.

If people haven't learned yet. Stop believing what your GM says. What your SA says. What your SM says. IF there is more still alot of demand. They will continue to make it. If its halfway through the model year. They will continue to make it. They will continue to produce it until PORSCHE tells you otherwise.
They stopped making GT4s and Spyders when the demand had slowed down.

Every car. Same cycle. Amazing that some people have not caught on.

I'd honestly rather listen to a franchise employee vs some rando Rennlister.

If I'm offered the 4RS, dealer may get the GT3 back.

There is no doubt they will continue to produce more 4RS, but likely at a much reduced rate as Spyder RS production comes online. 4RS production seems to mimic GT3 production trend, lots of them initially and then a slow trickle there after

All bets off on this model. It's life cycle is officially dead as we know it. I'm just glad I got one.

Again only Porsche actually knows. All rest is speculation. What is interesting, it looks like the last "hey I got an allocation" in this thread was late July. While this doesn't cover any and all allocations, it is telling. Going on 3 months now since a reported new allocation is interesting. While not a direct sign of a stop, it's a significant slowdown that was offset with increase in GT3rs allocations.

I don't think even Porsche 'knows' until they decide, and they can change their mind about things. But they're good at giving the impression that there will be less allocations than they usually wind up producing.
