Default 991.2 GT3 Gaz Guzzler tax

Found out today the gas guzzler tax is now $700 higher on a manual non-Touring car than it is on a Touring. Not sure the logic there. Here's the tax breakdown:

991.2 GT3 (PDK): $1,000
991.2 GT3 (Manual): $1,700
991.2 GT3 Touring: $1,000

Did someone not mention to the EPA that Touring is a manual?? Not sure how they even come up with these numbers or the rationale behind it.

Pretty sure it's 1700 on the Touring.

That would make sense. I saw the email direct from PAG that showed $1,000 for Touring. Perhaps it was a typo.

my .2 manual was showing a $1000 gg tax in the order system until it arrived, and the sticker showed the $1700 tax.

Correct manual is more expensive due to tax. On my Touring Build Sheet it shows $1700.00. V300 with vin# coming next month!

Manual + Wing = worse mileage.

We should exchange numbers and chat. I would love to tell you the story about how my friend and freed his 1976 Land Rover from the port at Baltimore shortly after September 11. We were texting recently and he reminded me of the story.

Is that the window sticker from when you took possession or the one they send in advance? My 'GT3' early window sticker (euro delivery) said $1,000... and when the car came stateside the window sticker that had my 'vin' on it, showed the $1,700.

Best Regards,
Dave

Amortize it over the break in period. About $1.00 per mile, then free.

What is “flow timing” on your window sticker?
