78k for a spyder seems strong. Would need to look more closely to work out whether that's the right money. I suspect there's some speculation in it.

The Boxter is a nice enough car, but for me, it's mincing with the scissors and drier.

Not long now. You'll struggle to get a factory orders in.

Thanks guys,

I placed my order 11th July last year, could have the car on 29th Jan but doesn't make sense.

Really looking forward to it.

I got turned down a month ago for a new build. I think (early) November was as late as you could hope to order an NA Carrera or 981.
B7 RS4 saloon Misano red, comfy seats, JHM tune & JHM full exhaust with cats and resonators - gone.
C5 RS6 Avant Daytona/Cognac - gone.
981 Cayman GTS Gray/Orange.

Hi,
I place my deposit in July, but didn't receive an allocation until November with a Jan build slot. Will be one of the last flat 6 non GT cars. The new turbo engine have a decent write up, but that sound will never be the same.

I will keep it 3-4 years, and have put in LOI for next GT4 or Spyder. Already pretty far down the list too, ridiculous really.

Cool

Enjoy

Are the GTSs dropping the 6 as well?

Maybe it is the 991s that are staying NA for the gts

Cheers bud,

Not sure yet on the 6's.
OPC thinks that the 718 Boxster/Cayman will be an upgraded version of the 2.5 flat 4, but no definitive answer yet.
It would make sense though, keeping NA 6 for GT and Spyder, will make the new ones really hard to get.

Jay.
