I will put a downpayment on Monday for a PTS Riviera Blue GT4. There is no word on PTS at the moment, but I was told that there is a lot of push from the customers for it and they might do a small number of PTS cars for 2017 production year.

2017 for PTS?? I really hope that's not the case.

Stan, well you do have 3, don't know any other regular on the Canadian forum with more P cars.

Do you think you'll keep your C4S?

Hi all. I did my introductory post in another section, if you'd like to see the details. Long story short, I have a deposit down for a GT4 and am supposedly between #4 and 6 to get one. Not sure how the allocations for Canada will work out, but fingers crossed.

Yeah, having 1 car to do it all (drive around wife + kids) was the appeal of the Carrera over a (996 / 997.1) GT3 when I got my car. The good news is that in 3-5 years you'll be able to get Cayman GT4 for 70-80k. If you can't get PTS you'll likely find the car you want on the used market for a big discount in a few years, that way you can potentially keep both.

Yup hate to say it but this is why a Carrera works best for my needs as well. How often do you have the either of the boys with you? Plus the same arguement will be had once they are too tall to be in the car anyway!

This being said I would still do it Stan as the car will be a future collectible I'm sure.
