When I bought my car in May there were alot of cabs at the dealers because that was the start of their selling season. Now there still remains alot of them at the end of their selling season and model year. The coupes still are a little tight but better from a few months ago. What gives?

you will find more and more ove the years - porsche turning into a production manufacturer - the days of low numbers and selling at msrp are over

IMO, the extra cost associated with:

-Roof security/maint/future replacement.
-Rear seat capacity.
-Uni-body flex.
-Track restrictions

I think that PCNA just overestimated the number of cabriolets that they would sell in the US this year.

I hear that C4S coupes are hard to come by... maybe they should have built a few more coupes, and a few less cabs? Likemystoppie should be able to give you a more realistic view...

Just MHO,

Five coupes and zero cabs at my dealer.

GR997S--is that what you're seeing in Orange County? Perhaps that is unique to your area. Clearly, many dealers in SoCal will order cabs because this is cab country,--I don't think that it's a sign of something critical. People are fickle. They follow trends. If someone on a discussion forum, like, say, the Rennlist for example, puts out the word that coupes have a head-space handicap suddenly cab sales will result. If we're worried about solar radiation coupe sales may pick up.

Dan: Yes. Most of the dealers are 75% or so cabs (at least according to web sites). And the same story for several of the dealers I know in northern cal. Since the dealers place the orders for the cars, they must have misread their markets....

dealers place orders by allocations.
you have 06 997 cpe and you're worried about the cab market?
relax . . . relax . . . relax . . . relax . . .

It seems to me you can never get a cab when you really want one.

Jim Ellis in Atlanta is loaded with Cabs, too...just 1 or 2 coupes at any time.

Dave, that's a very "fare" yellow cab you have there!

Very nice.
