Yes my dealership just confirmed that the watch is a 18k “standard option”. Good news is I had already accepted the total price not knowing I’m getting a watch. Now knowing I have no choice in the matter definitely makes me majorly irritated. My dealership has no control or say on it.

Also curious to see if this is to discourage or prevent dealers charging ADM. Will they allow six figure ADM as a cap reduction, and you don’t own the car? Roll it into a high MF mandatory lease payment? Is the car so great that people will do either?

I'm curious how this lease deal will work and if it's going to be interest free if they're forcing you into it.
I don't even know that a company can legally force you to finance a purchase.
Seems it would have been a lot easier to do it the way Ferrari does it to lock people in with a ROFR document.
Doesn't really affect me either way although I'd obviously rather not pay interest ... I guess I'll find out soon enough.

It will be nice when the embargo from the media launch is over. There will then be a tidal wave of videos proclaiming the ST to be the best/greatest/last/(insert here) 911 of all time. At least then the bitching will change gear from who did and didn't get an allocation and discussion on pricing to the actual car.....for a short time anyway.
I love 911s and have for 40 years (holy **** I'm getting old!). But the love affair started with the car itself and had zero to do with price, status, or anything else for that matter. It was a car like no other. "The market" as it is today is a bit nauseating. People used to buy 911s and drive the crap out of them for endless miles. That's a rarity these days.

I'm 53 and got my first Porsche, a 95 993 coupe purchased in 2006, at age 36. Hindsight can always be a little rose-tinted but I completely agree. At the time I bought my car it was a used 911. THE car to have was a GT3 and if you had one, you tracked it plain and simple. What has always attracted me to 911s since a teen is their useability, reliability, and more than anything their durability. People actually drove them and used them as regular transportation. There are those that still do but they are now the exception rather than the rule. A car sat in a garage can not make great stories or memories. And that's not a car I want.

For those who want an S/T and think they won't be able to get one, perhaps there will be more than one round of allocations, and you might be able to get one?
