So long Carrera GTS!
Finally pulled the trigger on a Carrera 4 GTS, put the order, signed the contract and paid a deposit, only to find out three days later that Porsche decided to stop the production of the 4 GTS!!
How can Porsche do that! After saying that it will accept the order it turns around and decides not honor it. That is really so unlike any Porsche ethics that I have encountered

It's not crazy. You can't wait until they end production on the 997 and then expect to order a car. The 991 C4S will be out next year, so of course production is done. Go try to order an M3 sedan - oh, no luck! Same shit... If you really want a C4 GTS, there are plenty in dealer stock.

But Chris, wouldn't they have told him BEFORE he ordered it, signed the papers and put down a deposit?

It's very likely the dealer didn't have production cut-off dates. It's happened to me before for certain options, etc. It happens. Otherwise, I'd go order a 993 Carrera tomorrow...

Yeah, might be a little disappointing, but I'd suspect the dealer wasn't aware of the production cut-off dates. I noticed last week that the GTS (rwd) wasn't available to configure online anymore, but the 4 GTS was. Something tells me the 4 GTS will be disappearing pretty soon as well. The GT3 versions and GT2 RS have been gone for some time.
Unless you had some special options ordered (interior combos, paint-to-sample), have your dealer do a search. There are a TON of 4 GTS' available nationwide. You can even go to the extent of searching on PorscheDealer.com yourself and see what you find. Those cars will have some pretty good discounts!!!
