The sales numbers are skewed a bit. It's just the initial ramp up of a new model.
Remember, the GT3 only started production not long ago, and they have a August holiday break. Some cars are stuck on their lot until after the holiday is over before shipping. And cars arriving now to this side of the Atlantic was in production up to early Nov, takes them 4-6 weeks to get cars over. My car was a Oct production and I just took delivery last week.

There is certainly a lag so the numbers don't line up perfectly, but the point is still there. The number sitting on the lot is hard to know exactly, but I don't think it is that significant.

RS is going to roll along soon. Whole new set of buyers for those in Canada or are they going to the same GT3 buyers. I would think mix of both. Lists are full (not that those have a huge weighting).
Might just be my frustration and 2 year old deposit speaking.

Of course we cannot expect the same number of cars as the US. No country can. That aside it would seem that Canadian demand isn't anywhere close to being met. Apparently all allocations are allocated. Dealers here stating that allocation numbers are low. Whereas in the US you have cars available from dealers now.

In Canada dealers are not allowed to tag on market adjustment. So every car is sold at MSRP to a REAL buyer. Cars get ordered, built, shipped, then customers pick them up right away. Only cars sitting on showrooms are sold cars that the owners hasn't has time to come and pick them up.
In the USA dealers are entering bogus customer informations to the system to pretend a car is 'SOLD CAR' to a real customer when in fact it is just a 'stock' car they had ordered. That way when the car comes they can tag on whatever market adjustment they want and see who would walk in and pay that first to take the car off the showroom. Had the USA used the same system as Canada, there will never be any unsold GT3 sitting on lots.
. I kid, of course.

Agree, but many who want to drive a less in your face carrera also prefer PDK for heavy traffic or for older joints.
Now if Porsche decided to offer PDK-S as an option for the GT3 touring, I think overall .2 GT3 demand would increase by another 30% overnight, (and corresponding demand for the turbo carrera drop by a further 30%, which wouldnt help PAG emissions numbers)

My point was that a consumer can buy a car in the US irrespective of how those cars became available and without being profiled by the dealer. In Canada I cannot. For somebody in my shoes thatâs a bonus. Especially at ADMs of $10k.

I think you'll be surprised to hear that dealers in Canada do in fact charge an ADM; its not just a widely known or as transparent. Its sometimes hidden in trade-in to obtain said GT3, or having to purchase Xpel treatments, wheel protection and other packages in order to secure a car. Ask me how I know...
