Porsche should make alternate/faster shipping arrangements to help reduce the delay of delivering the produced and/or to be produced 2014 models, just a thought

I, for one, would welcome the opportunity to buy one with a lemon title at a substantial discount, as opposed to a new MY15.

As for all of the conspiracy theorists - whether its a bad design, a bad part, or a missing part altogether - just sit tight for the announcement.
Nothing a class action lawsuit couldn't handle.

The lawyers will get paid and class participants usually get much less than deserved. I am no fan of our tort laws and those who would sue anybody for anything with no consequences if the suit turns out to be meritless. These things cost money and if you're innocent the likelihood of being made whole for your trouble is very UNLIKELY.

Here's to a happy ending sans lawyers.

The happy ending for the 2014 guys is they get a year old car with a new engine about the same time as the 2015's come out with a story attached. That is the shape I would have been in.

I've never understood American class action fees. I used to consult for one of the major Canadian class action law firms, and in Canadian law, a class action can only be certified if it can be shown that the majority of the fees will go to class members, and will be a cost effective means of litigation.

I read it the same way.

Or Porsche could have chosen to extend the 2014 production all the way to December 2014. That would have reduced considerably the disparity between production dates. Shortening the 2014 year just creates a leper year.
