Cayman GT-4
I like their commercial

At the Phila show, only a gt3 (Beautiful and purpose built) and a boxster GTS for sports cars
No-one was looking at the Boxster.
I spoke briefly to a Service guy and a salesman. I mentioned the GT-4 getting close.
Service tech guy wanted to talk about it. The salesman walked away

It's got to be cultural - Push the 911 (the profit) and tease with the mid-engine platform

I'm thinking that sales guy doesn't have any GT4 to sell you. Probably why it wasn't even on the floor at the NY auto show.
The Porsche spokes model girl I spoke to claimed the GT4 was absent because it wasn't yet offered in North America... never mind that there are already deposits on it.
More like a case of pushing what you have plenty of first.

The Porsche sales people that I talk to don't want to talk about ANY of the sports cars because those aren't what sells - they are all about the Cayenne and Panamera! That is where the easy money is if you're a Porsche salesperson.
