My first instinct is the same as yours RC. However put this in perspective: in 2003 I paid $90k for a somewhat high specced brand new 996 Carrera 4 convertible. That was 10 years ago...

 

What does not make sense however:

- cayman priced above boxster

- gap from "s" models to turbo models

- gap from turbo to turbo S models

- panamera priced above cayenne

- $32k from the base carrera to the Carrera 4 S convertible, really?
