I highly doubt we we would receive them before the states.

If PAG gives say 500 cars to PCNA in the first round, it's going to take them some time to figure out how many are going to vip's and how many are left over. Once they know this they have to figure out how to spread the remaining cars out to the dealers. Then once the dealers get the cars they are going to spend some time figuring out who they are giving them to. I imagine all of this could take a couple weeks. For Canada we are talking about maybe 75 cars to 17 dealers which would be must faster.

All I'm getting is "don't call us we'll call you" but I don't foresee many non-vip cars being built for 7 months or so until late Sept to Dec anyway.

Not sure that is how the system works. As I posted before I believe at the beginning of the year all dealers get an idea from PCNA how many cars they will be getting (all models) and approximately when. Porsche is just like every other large manufacturer in that production schedules and dealers allocations are set far in advance. What is the unknown is when the allocations will be distributed. Things can change like supplier issues or other unforeseen events. Furthermore, I don't believe VIP cars affect dealer allocations.

My guess the allocations will be given out within a week or so.

Maybe CJ can comment on how far off I am regarding what I wrote above.

GCC market = Gulf region (Dubai, Oman, Saudi, Kuwait, etc.)

Meant to say PC*: Porsche Center

With regards to the resale issue, I may consider part-exchanging it in the future at some point for the next GT3 RS at the time.

I'm really feeling like saying f*** it and buying a Lusso instead. My current GT3 is my dream spec and Ferrari has been really growing on me recently. Have a little while to decide though.
Not sure of your Ferrari credentials but if you're getting a Pista, you might need to get a Lusso too. The V12 Lusso is on its way out so if you could get an allocation for one that would be nice.

So at this point is the USA the only major market that has not received any allocations?

I thought I posted this but maybe it was in a different thread - there are 382 first round allocations for the US, this is after the 918 VIP allocations which were done a few weeks ago. There will be at least one more round later in the year and I've not heard how many for this one.

Really? Only two cars in your PC? So how many cars for all Europe? I think around 2000
By the way with WP I would go for white color... is the one matching best with the carbon roof and bonnet after the total black

In France around 30 PC and I don't know for Europe...my assumption is that the allocation is given on the CP size. My PC had 6 gen1 in total.

Anybody have a clue as to what percentage of national 911 sales are attributable to a big dealer like Park Place ?
