[DEBUNKED]: Taycan Cross Turismo to be discontinued in US soon

[KBEV]

So based on the porsche newsroom post about the refresh taycan.... doesnt look like CT is going away.

Considering that for range testing Porsche is now allowing media to test drive several 2025 Taycans in California, with one of those vehicles being a 2025 Taycan Cross Turismo, I say this is totally bogus info from a dealership. Porsche would not be allowing media to tests 2025 CT’s in the U.S. if there we no more coming.

What might be occuring however, is that they are no longer importing 2024 Cross Turismo’s. That would fit with the rumor (again not confirmed) that due to the Macon’s production ramp up, there would be fewer Taycan’s in the next few months.

Respectfully, the Porsche sales or service manager is the last person I go to, if I want to find out anything that is remotely close to what I should expect from PCNA. Period. I learned that from my mentors who have owned 20x Porsches as I ever did.
I will go so far to say that most Porsche dealers are no better stewards of the brand than a failed Kia sales guy.

Salesmen are not a valid source of info like this.

Exactly! I could go deeper into this, but I think you nailed it.
Mods should just archive this thread.

Man, better not tell my ST GTS it does not exist…

Geez! Same here! And to think all this time I thought my ST GTS was real.

What is that wheel and tire setup? I like the meaty sidewalls.

Yeah the red car looks pretty Mazda 3 to me

I though all 2024 Taycans allocations were already done. So by that logic, all Taycans are discontinued.

At about the 1:10 mark the 3rd car is a CT.

1 idiot sales rep and we get 4 pages of discussion and the top post on the site ?

A perfect illustration of my earlier point:

2. They repeat some rumor without any confirmation. Same theory as urban legends spread - easy to spread in bumper sticker format, takes pages (and attention span to read them) to refute it.

I think this thread would be a lot shorter and would die down faster if the OP would edit their post so that new readers know the bombshell thread title is in fact false.

@BeagleRott , perhaps just add "[DEBUNKED]:" to the beginning of the title of your original post. Then add add "EDIT: turned out the dealer was very misinformed".

Done.
Sigh, it looks as if I was naive to (mostly) believe those two salespeople.
