If this is indeed a maneuver to control sales #s, I am not sure why it makes a difference if the car sits at port for 1 month, 2 months, etc. Unless PCNA has a FYE other than 12/31, say 3/31. And if it is a sales # play, would be odd that it only affects 1 of the models and not all - way too many machinations to speculate.

Here is hoping it's just a software issue on PVMS.

Maybe they made a late decision not to extend this program to the 3RS?
Change in strategy

It sure sounds like a sudden move on their part. If I had to guess I would say they had no choice. So that probably eliminates sales # games. Have any ships turned around?

I picked up my 3rs yesterday in Leipzig; no problem. And it's even the color that caught fire recently

There are only two RY without PCCB. Yours is currently a 1 of 1 spec as the other yellow non pccb is a non WP.

congratulations!

If I told u the real reason that pushed me over the edge on PCCB's you would laugh. i will anyway.

I was on the fence in the first place. BUT, it drives me freakin insane that the PCCB yellow is Speed and the new 911 yellow is Racing. It's like nails on a chalk board! Come on Porsche, at least make your no-choice caliper colors match your current paint lineup! That and my wheels are black. If they were any other color, dirty wheels would have trumped clashing yellow OCD. Now the red tail lights, steel calipers and poser fire extinguisher flow a subtle bit of red (My guess is that I'm SPRINTING away from the car if something's on fire even if it's me!).

I can understand a sudden stop for some reason or another.
What strikes me as a real problem is that they have stopped it to April, how small or big is a problem that you know is fixed in 4 months?!

Was that your choice or theirs? How long after production will they allow you to take ED?
