Well, I could just as equally say that nothing gets done without a green light from accounting and finance. Why would they want to spend the dollars now, when they could wait another year-ish?

No horse in this race, but I think it sort of makes sense for PAG and PNA to stagger the introductions of "new" models (e.g. C2/C4 GTS, Cab GTS, Targa GTS) just to keep Porsche in the news cycle, and to get people into the showrooms.

When the 991 was launched, I'm pretty sure the techs had the C4 and TT figured out, but sort of delayed things just so that the TT wouldn't overshadow the C2.

Just thinking out loud here ...

Well here is the Targa Turbo ... When do you reckon they are going to launch it, before GTS, after GTS or at the same time as GTS!

Six months before they launch the Targa GT3.

Wow that targa turbo is gorgeous dammit you just made me probably have to spend more money! I would seriously guess that the GTS models would come first though IMO. Decisions decisions, thanks!

Nothing like rumors and speculation to make one want to spend money.

And photoshops always look gorgeous.
