To be a REAL collectible they have to make it unique like the '73 RS....if they had put a 500 HP engine in this unit , made it 300 lbs lighter and a it had a pair of Le Mans speed humps in the roof, I'd be at my dealer right now.
point is its another 25 cars ... its clearly cosmetic. I dont think anyone was claiming its a "collectors item" its really no different from the club coupe.

It's a cool unique GTS. Nobody's claiming this is a future retirement plan.

+1 and another 25 cars for those people who thought they had missed the N.A GTS boat ... which to all intents has sailed...

obviously I like my colors "bright" so while not being a fanboi ... I think this looks REALLY good and with some cool decals it will be a looker ...

what wasn't clear was if the car had a ducktail (I'm guessing yes)

Is the car selling at a premium over a 'normal' GTS? (I don't live in the States, hence the question.) Love the colour.

good question? - difficult to tell since the GTS is no longer on the configurator.

$148,335

base GTS,PTS, 18-way seats, PASM-S, PDLS+, GTS Comm Pkg Int, Bose, Park Assist, Sport Classic Wheels painted... that's probably in the region of $148k?

Thanks. Sounds like a good deal on PTS if you like the colour. Decals a bit much for me personally.

+1

but if you wanted a GTS (and you live in N.A) its one of these or nothing since the GTS is out of production now.

Ignore the naysayers - sounds like a lot of jelly to me.

Fact: This is a unique and limited edition end of run car. If you like the colors and configuration, go for it! Personally I think its gorgeous.

+1 ... as I said, if you were on the fence about a GTS, and you missed the boat you now have 25 more chances to win like a champion!

BTW, Fashion Grey is a non metallic color.

Don't like stickers? Easy to remove.

Just saw this - looks great!
Checked with my salesman - not available for Canadian market
Probably just as well, as I wouldn't want to trade my 50th!
