I have in writing my deposit amount, MSRP sale, and position in line for said car "GT4" "Spyder" "GT4RS". They're supposed to honor the position that I'm in for the said car that I put a deposit down for, I'll hope for the best.

I'd put a few grand to secure a low spot on a list, just in case. Fully refundable here in CA, so it's basically buying an option for no cost.

Same here, except for the GT4RS bit. Been in the waiting game since October 2017... Feels long.

I asked specifically about dealers that invite deposits and make lists yet announce that they will sell their cars at “market prices” (i.e. to the highest bidder). Makes no sense.

They'll look at what the market is willing to pay for a GT4 in the SoCal area. Lets say $15k ADM. Then they'll start going down the list. #1 guy on the list. Are you wiling to pay $15k. "Yes". Ok you get a car.
#2 guy do you want a car for $15k ADM. "No". Ok, Next person and so on...

Also, purposely delaying a PDK (assuming this happens) to the second model year is really a not good for customer move. It puts some of us in an awkward position. I have been on a list forever and really prefer a PDK model particularly after having my 991.1 Carrera S PDK out today.
A number of publications and people have referred to this "Cayman or Boxster 6" as a GT4 touring. Don't know if that is what it is? Then the articles go on to state the similarity and success of the GT3 touring as a reason for this possible production. THE BIG DIFFERENCE, HOWEVER, IS THE GT3 HAD A PDK MAIN ALTERNATIVE TO THE TOURING. To offer stick ONLY on the GT4, then to have a wingless touring stick is not apples compared to apples! And if it really is a "touring" as some have suggested, does this not point to a high likelihood then of a PDK standard GT4 being available?
Also, I really wonder how many 991.2 GT3 and RS cars are "getting pumped out". Do we have the numbers to confirm this? Can they really easily be had at MSRP?

Ok, so two model years of GT4/Spyder. Now we are talking about another line of 718s with a 6? It sounds like the "last NA 6" may not be such a special or limited run after all unless this other NA 6 is a limited run. Certainly from a collectibility standpoint....

good catch... unfortunately my earlier prediction of letting the 718 T have some room might be true... sounds like Geneva will be about the production Speedster.
