The Porsche Canada website has info up but its still not on the builder. I do hope they hurry so I can see what my car will price out at.

Do you guys expect a discount on new model launch from the onset?

back seats can be omitted as an option. I like that.

^+1. I wish mine would have had the rear seat delete as an option. NEVER used.

The GTS sounds pretty good to me!

I'm not sure why some were expecting some 'special edition' car, as the GTS has and will always be a glorified option package for a good price... I've been considering a C4S Cab in the spring (assuming I can't get up to a TTS), and the GTS would be the way I would go now... Nice looking, more power, well optioned, etc... I really want a GT3, but plan on using it year-round in Chicago, so AWD is almost mandatory and the wife would enjoy the Cab..

Love how the wheels are so flush against the fender. Looks incrdedibly aggressive on the widebody.

Anyone know what size spacers are on the GTS? I have 5 mm all around on my S but it doesn't look nearly as broad as that on the GTS.

I just built one out from the UK site. Their price is comparable to the US when you use a FX of X1.6 plus a 20% discount (deducting the VAT). I ended up with a GTS 4 couple that is not heavily optioned at 140K!! My current (to be locked) GT3 build is 141K.

My 97 TTS had no rear seats... very cool

The option was called Rear Seat Dump

No spacers are possible with the center lock wheels. You're just looking at the offset that's built into the wheel set.

Well, we'll see soon enough. Just basing this observation on what's been going on with the cayman S/GTS. Discounts on S's all day, GTS's, not so much. Still I think GTS's are a good value. (Ha, only Porsche can get people to spend MORE money and yet, feel like they got a good value. SMH)

So the American site shows that carbon buckets are an option. SPASM is an option on the coupe. Wonder if LED headlights will be an option, especially since they will disrupt the "black theme" of the GTS.

Well, yes. But I have a long established relationship with my dealer, and I'm definitely a repeat customer. Those factors certainly affect my expectations.

Pretty much. Different paint, different wheels, different upholstery. Same option list. A bit less expensive.
