Don't want to be a downer, but my dealer said that allocations will be sent out two weeks from now after the 918 VIP window. They told me that my order will be more than likely locked two weeks from that point. So if you are #1 at your dealer, PTS will not be an option unless you pass on your #1 spot... then you risk loosing a allocation altogether. I hope I'm wrong... but Porsche's record for the PTS process should speak for itself.

Default 918 VIP Program...

Just in case anyone missed that point, here is what the 918 VIP program sent out to its members re: a 981 Spyder allocation on April 1st, 2015. They were asked to respond by Friday, April 10th if they are interested in a reservation.




American Express in the 80's used to say 'Membership Has It's Privileges'. But the 918 VIP Program, with its '918 Spyder Circle', has even the American Express' 'Black Card' (The 'Centurion' is made of anodized titanium) beat!




Don't knock on this door unless you stepped up to the plate and ordered a 918:

I'm not sure I understand, never ordered PTS. Is it available later and we won't be able to take advantage of it?

I was told not to even consider the older boxster. When the new one came out they wanted me to sit in it so I could appreciate the extra inch of leg room. They still show some concern about getting a Boxster because of the small size of the interior.

The majority of my driving would be top down anyway unless it's a cross country trip.

What color do you think would highlight the curves the best? I don't much about this.

Silver is a great color to highlight the curves and lines of the car. Also looks good with the spyder red interior.
