pt767 was right. 4 page article with video and photo gallery. In the photo gallery there is clearly a black gts convertible. I can't wait to hear back from my Porsche friend who said "no way".

Interesting tidbit on page 4:
I'm going to have my dealer double check on that as the PCNA published info would seem to contradict this statement. Its very possible these are Euro variants being shipped around the world for press use.
And yes, there are sometimes back seats in the GTS. In the Cabriolet, they're standard; order the coupe and they're left off the build sheet, with only plush carpeted niches left behind—which is essentially what any 911’s rear seats are. If you still want the upholstered cushions in the GTS Coupe, you can have them—for a price.

That's the car I saw! Thanks for validating my sighting....If any fellow Rennlisters are in the desert this week, the local dealer (Desert European Motorcors) is having their open house tonight (Thurs 11/18) . It's a nice evening w' good food and lots of great cars to check out. They're a Porsche/Audi/Aston/Lotus/Rolls/Bentley/Range Rover dealer. Starts at 6pm.

I spoke at the LA show to Porsche's product manager for the US. He confirmed - ALL USA GTS cars will have back seats. The Cab on display had the seats; the coupe was Euro spec and did not have them.

Yep, and the PCNA document providing the GTS details clearly indicates a 2+2 configuration. I don't need the cushions just yet (kids too small), but before too long they will be useful.
