To clarify, I think the 2011 reference is a generic policy change for Canadia (kidding) indicating lower relative pricing (in North America, comparing Canada to the USA market) since 2010 pricing. Still, amusing to see a dealer think this kind of exclamation pertain at all, let alone will sway the decision of a GT2 RS buyer.

Many chose to buy from the US but there is an import tax of 6.1%, so what the dealers do is make the price closer, hassle us for warranty and import documents.
US dealer can't sell a new one to you if you don't have a US address. At least that's what a few told me when inquiring about GT3RS.

I can tell you from looking, most of the cars that show up on the dealers website are actual cars ordered by customers, For some reason Porsche USA's website inventory at the dealer level auto loads the cars when they are inbound. Case in point: New Country Greenwich listed 3, I called and all were presold. My rep there tried to look on his internal inventory system at other dealers and none showed up. In addition, he said a lot of the smaller dealers out there put in a bogus customer name in order not to lose their dealer allocation. Fairfield car is a prime example, dealer spec'd and ordered car with the intention of putting someone over the barrel.
