Do not tell her. When car shows up go home and act all upset and ask her what you should do. That they are not making any more PDKs and you are stuck...

If you can sell that good luck

I don't know too much about their 3.0 TDI


All I know is PCNA says they don't plan on bringing back to diesel to Porsche cars in US for awhile.

So looks like that saffron is a 4 layer yellow color for 911 range with "intermediate sanding".. I wonder if that means it's like a matte color?.. I hope not. We need another good yellow, and a deep modern one would look very cool.

Do we know if it's coming on GT3?

You'll see it soon, should be couple weeks.


And you'll see it in person as long some people order it for the first batch of 2018 models that will arrive in August/Sep.

Any feedback on the GT3 touring package? Will it happen and will it include rear seats (standard or option)?

On the GT2 RS, do they have the final HP and Torque numbers?

If so what should we expect

Thanks in advance!

As I mentioned in a post 2 weeks ago, you will see this special special color, which is in pearl/pearlescent finish, so its far from signal yellow. The name is correct though. However, this color will not be available on ever 911 to be optioned, you'll see. That's all I can say now.

So this color will be available on the .2 GT3??

Been waiting for a new non-PTS Yellow to arrive. RY does not do it for me. Now Signal does

Will option XEX Bi Xenon in Black be available. If not, why? To encourage people to get LED if they want black?

Thanks.

Of the model introductions coming in the short term...I think you said 9...are any of them new 911 models we will be surprised by? By that I mean not offered in either 997 or 991.1 generations.
