Does anyone know if dealers are getting 2019 allocations ? I am not able to get any answers from dealers local to me about allocation. They are all out of 2018 allocations and no clue about if and when they will get next one ( or at least they aren't telling me). Anyone got any confirmation for 2019 build for T ? Any resource about understanding how this allocation works ? I am new to allocation side of Porsche. I have a Cayenne but it was a much easier process 7 yrs ago. Trying to get a custom build T has been much more cumbersome.

Thanks Alex. At least one confirmation for 2019 T allocation. Do you know what would be the earliest delivery date for the 2019 allocation ?

..... Add me to the Miami Blue Club!
http://www.porsche-code.com/PKY23CC7
Went to Braman Porsche today to check out the 911T's in stock. I went to see specifically what the Miami Blue looked like in person. I know a lot of people complain that it looks too Turquoise. When I pulled into the parking lot it was waiting for me. The color was more impressive than my expectation as that I thought I was going to be disappointed. I bet my eyes must have been almost out of my head. I thought I needed a double take for a split second.
I really wanted to do the "T" in PTS, but everyone has been saying no and then the increase to $11k.... well... I thought I was going to try and find GT Silver Metallic if possible or wait on a 992. Then after seeing the Panamera dash and console I felt that the 992 dash was going to be ok,.... but the console....well, lets just say the cup holders seemed nice... ha ha.
The Miami Blue "T" was a manual, and I sat in and sorted myself. It felt good. I played around with the shifter to see what the 7-speed felt like as I rolled through the gears. I had only ever owned a 5-speed, so wasn't sure if it was something I'd like. I didn't quite like how the lockout feature to 7th seemed you had to go to 6th first. I just felt that even though I'd like a manual, with my plan of "one and done", that as I age I may not enjoy the shifting in the future. I asked if we could take out the Yellow PDK "T" . He said, "no problem, jump in and we'll drive over to where its parked." So off on the test ride... The saleman took me out and I watched him roll through the gears. Right away I realized that I would love the manual, but the voice inside my head said I hope the PDK is all everyone says it is.
He took me out in the PDK and accelerated fairly quick and no wheel spin. The torque was really impressive. The lightning quick gear changes were awesome. For a second I was wondering if he was going to brake for the traffic light.. ha ha.
He said do you want to take it for a drive? I said "YOU BETCHA !!!" As soon as I got behind the wheel and pulled out of the parking lot I realized how much I miss driving German cars. I tried accelerating a couple times and was impressed. The ride was fairly tight/stiff but very compliant. Again, nice and think I could live with it. The steering was precise and something I've really missed. By the end of our short drive I knew I was sold. He asked me how I liked it. I said if you can get me an allocation so I can order a Miami Blue PDK "T" I think you'll have a deal!. And there you have it. Hopefully tomorrow they'll confirm my allocation.
