Another update on the Sport Turismos. As of late yesterday the GT3 Touring which was also "about 3/16" has now received CARB certification. The Sport Turismo, however remains "about 3/16" for CARB clearance.

I'm beginning to wonder "what year...?"

Are you talking about E-Hybrids?

No. The 4, 4S and Turbo. The e-Hybrids are still (at last report) April at the earliest.

Just got off with PCNA, they said they have moved up the 4S and Turbo and Carrera T to Friday. I am crossing my fingers that this actually happens. Will know for sure Monday.

Not sure of the answer. Rear visibility is certainly no problem though.

Hate to say it but these cars are not selling.The same 110 cars have been on CARS.COM for 2-3 weeks now.I'm beginning to regret ordering this car if they are going to be a poor seller.I was getting it to be a replacement for my Macan.

^^Meh, enjoy the car. Rarity will make it a bit cooler and honestly it will probably hold value better. Don't regret not being apart of the crowd. Also love you GTS. I am considering getting rid of my GTS for a Panamera ST as well.

I wonder if they really have any cars in stock? They also show a number of 2018 Panamera 4 E-Hybrids and the turbo E-Hybrids and obviously they don't have any of those cars in stock yet. My guess is they are advertising spec cars they have coming some day in the future.

Not sure they will sell well and dont care. This is a car I will probably keep for quite a long time so it I use up all the value I am just fine with that . I have not seen any on the road apart from my own.

Do you only buy Porsches? I'm thinking the next car I'm getting is the Mercedes-Benz E Wagon, but I'm not sure if the Panamera Sport Turismo would be better. Do you want to see more on the road, or do you like the rarity of it?

Sort of indifferent as to whether they sell... I expect that some kind of Mission E equivalent will show up and dilute the market. The Mercedes E wagon is a very practical car and the choice is personal,.
The AMG will generally outperform the Pana, will cost a lot less, and haul a lot more. Just like the Pana.

I do buy other stuff and have a Mercedes SL, Jeep Wrangler and a Smart car, and another Wrangler will show up in Canada this Fall I think, The new JL is nice.,

Do you have a place where you store cars in Toronto? Who do you use? I prefer the non AMG E Wagon for the ability to get the raised Star on the hood and the rear facing third row. The Wrangler is really nice but to spartan for my taste.
