I've had a deposit down since March 2012. Been waiting for info, and have heard nothing to change my mind. In fact most of the details, including price, are better than I expected and contrary to the doom and gloom predictions. Drove manuals for 4 decades, but the last 4 years with a first generation PDK in my '09 CS have convinced me it's nothing to fear; quite the opposite. The new PDK will be even better, the car itself will be amazing and fun as hell, and I don't even drink lattes and have never been to a Cars and Coffee.

I'm in.

We got the same schedule, but doing nothing productive is winning at the moment for me.

If people are expecting that Porsche will take a step back with regard to things like PDK, RWS, PTV etc. on the RS I think they may be in for a disappointment. Modest increases in HP, decreased weight, adjustments in aero and suspension, sure. But Porsche have shown their hand with regard to the direction they want to go. For good or ill, it's hard for me to imagine that they would install bits on the RS that would slow it relative to the 3.

I'm stuck in my GTS for awhile and the economy isn't helping matters. Sales for me are rather dull right now.
