PTS gone. Are we expecting any new colors for 24?

You guys sound like Harley owners......not kidding! All that matters to them is the new paint colors every year. It's the most closely guarded "secret" at the Harley Factory, and they make a Really Big Deal of the color reveals every August when the new model year comes out. New Technical innovations? The H-D buyer doesn't really care unless they made the stereo louder. Most still look for a way to disable the ABS on the new bikes, but the paint....the paint matters.
I personally don't care what color my Porsche is, I bought it to drive, not admire. I'll pay for performance options, not paint. But hey, to each his own. However PTS + @ $ 32,000 before it was dropped is simply ludicrous.

Yes, the days of ordering a Porsche and getting a discount off MSRP are gone. In the past, I was able to order my new cars and negotiate a nice discount off MSRP;
2015 Cayman - 7% Discount off MSRP
2019 Targa 4GTS - 5% Discount off MSRP
2022 Boxster 25 - Paid MSRP
The trend line is not good. I just hope my wait for a 911 GTS allocation comes in at MSRP (no ADM).

Regarding PTS is seems aubergine is back after many years. It should be a nice alternative - for some - to amethyst and viola.

I find it hard to believe anyone in the world is currently getting 12-15% off on a 911. At those discount levels Porsche is putting money on the hood, why would they do that when they could just shift allocations to markets where they can sell the cars without cash on the hood?

If you analyse this, it is the US market that is the exception. Tradionally any customer would get 5-10% on a luxury car purchase whether mercedes, bmw, jaguar, porsche, etc In Europe the dealers are still following this.
Another member posted in the “feb 8 week release of the 992.2” that he can get 8.5% now for a 992.1 gts in Italy.

Additionally: Didn’t porsche dealers in the US provide a 10% discount 5 years ago?

Does Mercedes discount the sl in the USA? For 10%? If not then I am sure there should be other brands that will discount a luxury sports car for at least 10%. Do you think these brands have more margin than Porsche?

Out of curiosity and then we can discuss more. And just to be clear the 10% markup is a 9% margin.
1) What is your source for the 10% markup on the 911?
2) What do you think is the markup on the 911 options?
3) What is the markup for cayenne, macan and taycan? Is it different?

Reminds me of Miami Blue - you either love it or...
@drcollie - I'm the exact opposite. I think I would be still driving my 2018 M3 if it wasn't white. But I was told they were no longer making them and I needed to take what I could find (a lie, a lie). Such a boring color (and it was the metallic, mineral white) and the lack of sunroof drove me crazy.

Mostly agree although Shark is no where as light as Miami. I generally am not in love with Shark Blue when it is in full sun, but I do like it when it shows its darker side, generally indoors or an overcast sky.
