Complain to NHTSA and CARB- trust me Porsche and all dealers want these cars in your hands

I agree that the dealers want the cars and my dealer has been great (and is also not happy about the EPA/CARB issues), but it seems to me PAG/PCNA should have known by now this was an issue and could have avoided it by submitting a test car earlier (or whatever they have to do).

I am working on pulling some political levers at the federal and states level too, but that does me personally no good. CARB is the issue for my car and I have no contacts in California.

I'm told the certification should come by 2/5 (next Monday). Let's keep our fingers crossed. I'm still at a loss why the GT3 Touring is considered a different model from the GT3.

That's exactly what I heard, so sounds encouraging.

I wonder if this is going to affect the Carrera T as well...seeing as it's just a "base" model...

When I heard two weeks, this is all I could think of (probably because I restored an old house — never really done of course).

Funny you should mention that. We're just finishing up a major remodel, and of course it's taken just about twice as long as hoped. Should have the garage ready just in time for getting my Touring (back).

I bet it needs it's own certification, as the name of the car is (slightly) different, just like the GT3/GT3 Touring. Your SA should be able to tell you.

We are now officially past my original scheduled delivery date (2/2) which had been moved up to 1/18 or 1/19 (I heard both).

My car has been in prison over a month.

This is intolerable. I sit down to dinner at a table made of my beloved Snow Tires and weep.
