I got the call early morning from Sunset Porsche Service manager who offered to send a tow truck, or whatever is most convenient for me. However I had few meetings in the AM, and told him I will drop it off, which I did around noon time, and they gave me the option to choose between 2014 panorama 4S and 2013 cayenne S for my loaner, and I opted for the Panorama. See pictures below for loaner.
The service manager and my salesman were very apologetic and indicated most likely there will be some compensation for owners who paid cash for the car like myself, besides possibly throwing in the bluetooth hands free module for free, but also indicating they really have no specific instructions of what to do with the cars once they have them. They just wanted the cars back ASAP for liability reasons, and the service manager indicated it will probably be more than a week if not much longer before getting the car back. So PCNA is still keeping the dealers in the dark, and most of what we are hearing on the forums are still speculation at this point.
Hope for resolution soon.

PCNA contacted me directly and offered to either pick up the car or have me keep it until they determined whether my car was even affected. I opted to keep it in my own garage since I didn't want it sitting at the dealer for the next week or two while they figure out what to do with it.

This car sitting in my garage is too much temptation. I don't trust myself not having my hands in the cookie jar. After all I could not resist couple of weeks ago and ended up driving it in the snow. I really love driving this car. I am better off with the trial separation.

My 997GT3 just went back and I'm still looking at getting a 991GT3, but the wussified clutch issue dictated by the marketing department gives me pause ... Real cars in this category have clutches. But THAT issue has been beaten to death here ... and those of us that actually like to *drive* our cars lost. And lost BIG.
PS -- Everything that has transpired here reminds me of the rule that no Porsche should be bought in the first model year. I made THAT mistake with both the 996 and 996TT. At least the 996 merely squeaked mercilessly. And the 996TT just blew out transmissions. 'Burning to the ground' is a new one for the first model year ...
