Default GTS no Rear A/C ??

Take a look at this '93 for sale in NJ ... weren't all GTS's for North America built with rear A/C?

27 Canadian Market cars in '93, none of them had rear air.

Of the 182 U.S. '93s, there's not a single one that didn't have rear air.

Mutually exclusive.

Hi Rob,

Regards Canadian production numbers, where could I find that? For some reason, I thought there were about 30-40 Canadian GTS's over the 3 years. Just found a production page noting 190 cars in '93 US & Can total. With the 10:1 population and our being a more socialist state, I figured maybe a dozen or so '93's existed originally. I'd appreciate it if you could point me to correct breakdown.

Cheers, Phendriks

5 manual early '93
8 automatic early '93

1 manual late '93
13 automatic late '93

2 automatic '94 MY

no '95 MY

So total is 29 Canadian cars over 2½ years.

Erkka or Rob,

Would you have those numbers for the '91 Canadian cars?
I had them (from Rob I think) but can't find them now.

Thank you.
By the way, no rear A/C on mine either.

My GTS is one of these 5 I think; it was sold new in May 1992 in Montreal

Bertrand-

16 '91 Candian cars, 6 GTs and 10 Automatics.

For whatever it's worth, between 1980 and 1995 there were 1232 Canadian market cars.

Thanks Rob.

I'll keep those numbers this time.

16 '91s and 13 '93s. Hum, Interesting.

Edit: ...27 '93. Even more interesting!

Malcolm, do you know at what dealer your GTS was sold?
Just curious.

Cool!

Mine was sold at Auto Strasse too.
In August... '93.

I remember that there was few Porsche dealers in MTL back then.
Auto Strasse and Porsche Lauzon at least.
Now Auto Strasse is Porsche Prestige.

While we're at it, does anybody know the Canadian MSRP for the GTS years? It might explain the sales figures.

Cheers, phendriks
