Nothing new or surprising; I assumed the price increase to make some more room in the overall pricing hierarchy, which likely spells an increase for the next GT4.

Isn't it closer to a almost 10% price increase (USD)? Assuming a new GT4 increases the same, that's about $94k, putting a rumored GT4RS between the two at $118k base.

Like mooty said in another post, Porsche cars are a drug, we are addicted, we pay the price, they keep making the drug that makes us want it more. What a beautiful business model for them. Our part is to keep figuring out a way to pay for the drug.

Wohoo! Wish rear-steer was an option to remove, but I'll get over it.

With such a high msrp am I the only one thinking 570s maybe a good alternative?

I'm glad they listened to their customers with this car. Hopefully they will do the same and make a gt4rs at some point.
