Working w 2 dealers, both have the same message, no allocation from PCNA beyond their spec launch car (sedan only).
They were hoping to have alloc in Jan but so far nothing and no ETA from PCNA
Thanks

No news here (Toronto) either, was told to expect an allocation end of Q1.

Where are you geographically? I think Jan allocations should be coming down in the next week.

Earlier this week one dealer told me they got some GTS commissions (already allocated internally to customers), but no production or delivery dates yet. I'm not familiar with what a commission vs. allocation and their various stages are, but by his own admission, those were in very earliest stages of conception. This was a dealer which usually never bs'ed me before, plus I'm waiting for a Turbo not a GTS so he had no reason to give me any story to lead me on.

I am in CT. Commission I believe is V070 status ie order waiting for an allocation which is where I am at.
I am waiting for the fancy photochromic pano roof which starts production in March. Academic anyway as very unlikely to see a March production date, would assume April at the earliest w delivery Jun/July.
Then becomes a question of when MY23 goes live...

Well, I've been waiting for a CT Turbo allocation for over half a year now, and according to the very same dealer they have not even gotten any commissions for those yet, so a commission seems is not the earliest stage.

Both dealers here told me of similar stories for any CT allocation besides CT4 ie they have barely received any over the past few months, one of them theory was production challenges impacting CT more than sedan due to complexity but not sure this is accurate

I'm thinking that given that the majority of CT's in the USA so far are CT4, I'm guessing Porsche prioritized those to try to get in before the $7,500 USA federal tax credit was discontinued by Biden's administration. The logic might be that CT4 buyers are more price sensitive and Porsche would lose more CT4 sales than higher trims when the credit disappears. It makes sense, especially that the few non CT4 that the dealers have seen were CT 4S, the next most price sensitive bunch. My hope is that once the rebate goes away, they will finally produce some of the higher margin trims for the USA. Maybe Canada gets swept up in whatever plans Porsche makes for the USA - too small or a market to make distinct production plans (very similar production specs)?

Interesting theory @whitex, makes a lot of sense, haven't seen any noter CT besides CT4 and CT4S delivered in the US

I got a confirmed allocation out of nowhere this weekend. Quite unexpected and super excited now.
Nice! Good for you, just to confirm it is for a Sport Turismo GTS?

Had been working with a couple of different dealers, and it looks like I have a May build date with likely July delivery (for ONLY $7,500 over MSRP). Fine with me, since good things are worth waiting for. And the GTS ST is a very good thing indeed.

I've had an allocation since the week the GTS ST was announced (had been waiting on a 4S CT, and got lucky I guess). I think originally for March/April build, but I ended up going for PTS, which pushed things back to May.
