    P Car Configurator - Only 997 997 S and Cabrio - others gone

    Maybe someone can say for certain but either there's a problem with the Porsche Web site (I checked both UK and Spain sites)or Porsche has taken out all 911 models except 997, 997S and respective cabrios from the car configurator. Turbos, and 996 C4 are all gone.

    Am I reading too much into this or could this mean that Porsche has stopped production of all 996 models?

    Could the presentation of the 997TT and TTS be inminent and simultaneous?

    I guess from a marketing perspective could make sense since most people buying a 997TT will probably go for the 997TTS.

    The non 997 models have been off the configurator for at least two weeks. They aren't on the German site either.

    I dunno if this is relevant but that configurator has always been a bit messed up. It never seemed to worked correctly everytime I used it (which was alot for a while). So maybe they pulled those sections to update or correct the software and/or the details.

    Funny thing is that the 996 models still show up on the home page of the German site if you click on the model section then 911. The photos for the C4 and C4S are still the 996 model! Not a very up to date site then

    yeah, that's the other thing, the configurator site seems always seems neglected.

    When I was depending on it at the very beginning of my Porsche Fever, I was shocked too at how messed up it was. I wondered why Porsche was making it sooooo difficult for me to decide on the car I wanted to *BUY!*

    I had problems with it to. When trying to select one of the options it would freeze up. And wouldn't let you go back or forth. Had to exit and start again and it still wouldn't work.
    Is this what happened to you guys or something else ?

    Strangely, on the U.S. site the car shown is NOT the U.S. version: it has the clear side markers and no bumperetts on the tail.

    Yes, that happened to me, too. The most annoying thing was, that this happened also to my dealer several times when we were configuring my car. It's a shame. One of the world's best sports car makers is not able to get a proper web site done
