Sure, you can have white! As long as it has red interior...

Hopefully this is just limited to Canada, but I highly doubt it.

Pass until I can spec it the way I want it.

These combos are limited to Canada--dealerships have already been sharing the US combos that'll be available, but no insight yet on what order they'll release in. White with Ebony is available in the US.

I happened to reach out to a local dealer and they confirmed as much- and they'll have white with ebony in their first batch of cars.

Depending on ADM, it might be mine.

Thanks for the clarification though, sucks for Canada!

True story.

It is nice to be in a province where ADM isn’t legal though.
Another true story, ADM is terrible for consumers... but reading on the Porsche forums there are ways for dealers to scoot around that. Not sure how it would work out with the ITS, but with Porsche the average cost of add-on options is ~$20k. I've read where dealers control allocations by only handing them out to folks who eclipse a certain level of options on their build. Maybe it doesn't happen everywhere but then again neither do ADMs. This also happens in the US.

There are also US dealers who inject "hidden ADMs" by only handing out allocations for prospective buyers with "interesting trades"- which they then proceed to lowball.

The dealer network is the enemy either way, but unfortunately you can't get a new car right now without them.

What doesn't suck for Canada is we don't have to deal with ADM. I'd rather any color than to line some greasy dealers pockets

I already addressed this- Canada dealers are not immune to ripping you off, they just have to be more creative about it.

Ya, typical things you’ll see in Canada are arbitrary admin fees and options already on the car before you get a chance to decline, e.g. paint/rust protection, glass etching, mud flaps, floor mats, etc.

They’ll just say things like oh we do that to all our cars for the customers protection.
