Dude, get over yourself. There's no miscommunication. It's obvious you were trying to be sarcastic. You're not as clever nor funny as you think you are.

I have found that most peoples predictions for anything are usually based off of what outcome will serve their best interests. Makes sense.
As far as allocations go, all the dealerships in Florida are still charging an ADM for Turbos and GT cars. It sucks. It doesn’t look like that’s going away anytime in the near future. That’s not a prediction on my part. I just call around often and ask where we are, and nothing has changed yet. I suspect a crash in the economy or an uptick in production could change that but no one seems to know if either of these things are going to happen. Like I stated earlier, I would’ve bet half of everything I owned that the economy would be killed off by now yet here are with the media saying it’s never been better. Honestly I don’t know. What I do know for a fact is that everything is a lot more expensive today and interest rates are high. Neither one of those things seem to have affected Porsche charging ADM’s. At least not in Florida.

Everything is indeed more expensive. Coffee has exploded in price. What used to be $10 pack of Starbucks ground is now $14. It sickens me.

ADM on Turbos ? Still?? Are these dealers high on amphetamines? Ain't no way in Hell I'm paying an ADM on a damn Turbo or Turbo S. No way Jose.

OK let’s get something straight. Manifold is currently the forum psychic and you are butting into his territory. Are you bucking for his job?
On a sidenote, since you appear to be a psychic as well I’m really trying to figure out who’s going to be the Super Bowl champion this year. It’s a strong hobby of mine, and would be a great way to earn some extra cash. So how about it?

I have doubts now if i should wait for MY25 but who knows what will happen in MY25. First world problems i guess and I'm old so tomorrow is never guaranteed.
I don't think Hybrid will come in the 992.2 TT/TTs, i think it will be GT2 RS or something like that.

^ I wouldn't bet on that, I am thinking hybrid on the TTS, look at all the testing they've been seen doing... M5 is hybrid now and much benz stuff is. Also there is a hole in the trans for the hybrid stuff currently...

I was offered a Turbo S cabriolet a week ago at MSRP – but I have bought a lot of cars from them. Then my sales guy said the boss gave my allocation to another salesman who “needed” a transaction and they promised me the next Allocation they receive for a turbo S cab—but Porsche introduced some new blue colors and a new gold color as standard colors for the new Panamera – see the configurator-
So I think I will wait until the 2025 model is released to get one of these new colors on a Turbo S cab. I was disappointed that Porsche does not offer PTS colors on their flagship 911 touring model for around $300,000 car.
Two salesman I buy cars from tell me the first hybrid will be the GTS -- not the turbo line.
I paid last month $40,000 over for a GT3 that now has 98 miles on the odometer. Having PPF put on the car currently. I took this allocation three months ago. THe car locked the next day and was the fastest delivered Porsche to date. Today I suspect I would have a hard time selling it for the $240,000 I paid for this car. But I bet my dealers would still want $40,000 for an allocation on a GT3. There is a lot of value in an allocation and building a new car to your spec and getting a truly virginal new Porsche so you can be the first to love the car. And there is a whole warranty, and you know the past for the car-- while any used car could have been abused and now might have severe emotional damage that will keep the car from truly trusting and loving another owner.
Look at the new colors on the Panamera configurator -- looks like Shark blue and Rubystar Neo might both get dropped as well. Glad I have a car in both colors in my garage. THe new new blue-green metallic is probably the color I would order. Even though the new gold color is also a new departure from the past as even the PTS colors do not have a good gold color.
