In my quest to get a 2009 with PDK I just found out from a dealer that apparently they're on quota and they're all accounted for (sold) in the first 6 months of allocations.
After having money down for a couple months I'm kind of slightly mad. I didn't know there would be such supply pressure on these cars.
To make matters worse, according to him PTS is not available yet either. So from him I could only get a manual in regular colors unless Porsche makes more PDK allocation available.

They don't look like lobster forks at all to me.
I actually like the design. It's an elegant, original, clever iteration of the 5 point star pattern based off the lug nuts. I would consider buying these instead of aftermarket wheels. They look sharp.

I just called the sales manager at the place where I have a deposit. He said that no cars in NA have been ordered with PDK because it isn't available to order yet.
I need to stop paying attention and chill out, but it would suck to not pay attention and then miss out on having a car for a year of waiting for no reason. What a pain in the a**.

I definitley would not look forward to more touch controls on the center consul.That element of the 09, 997 gives me consolation that I have an 08.With poloroid sunglasses on it is extreemly tough to read those touch screens.

But still, the best deals will always be in used vs. new.

I agree that they don't really look like lobster forks, that's just the name that seems to have stuck, i personally love these wheels and think the new version suck, at least in pics. these were unique wheels that to me, fit the 997 really well, it had the german industrial-ethos thing going for it.
