I believe that reason would be PCNA rules for dealers. I'm sure PCNA has stipulations built in for the dealers that make sure they are competitive within the same state. If one dealer sold for way less locally then everyone would go to that dealer for service and the other dealers will be left in the cold. It also cheapens the Porsche brand if service is the same cost as a Honda. I know it flys in the face of the free market, but that's how it goes when you're sort of like a franchise.
Do you know if they are real charcoal filters or just charcoal color? If they are charcoal activated then they'll do a much better job of controlling odor. I have the white one and have not noticed any difference from the original (it was white too), but I'd love to have a charcoal activated one.
