Just in case you guys miss it. I posted this in the consolidated RS thread. This came out about an hour or so ago from PCNA. Proposed production delays:
991 GT3 RS (MY 2016) Option Description Status Delay 991 GT3 RS has a longer production process in the start-up phase. As a consequence, relevant vehicles might be delayed up to 4 weeks in relation to the allocation month. These delays are already considered within the expected dates of the relevant orders and are shown correctly in the Order Management system. Interior P11 Full bucket seats From allocation month April 2015 onwards up to 8 weeks delayed in relation to the allocation month. |
^^^ This stuff is getting VERY tiring...

Aprils fools? If true here we go again.

The demand will be very high I think, maybe still more than they will build. but they will build at least as many as previous generations I bet.
Just based on how high the demand was for those manual for track junkies and now the additional plappy accepters and enthusiasts. Whats the alternative? A GT4.. Maybe between all the previous generation GT3's the new the GT4, GT3 and RS demand will be filled.. (close to the Blade Runner quote) |
Folks, make sure your dealer has your order in the system (V070, pending allocation, commission number generated) if you have a deposit on file or are waiting in line.
This is how PCNA will gauge true demand, and it'll help them in their efforts to secure more allocations from PAG. Remember, PCNA buys cars from PAG and imports them as the sole importer for the North American market. Help them get us more allocs/cars. :) |
and IF our dealer won't put us in as V070?

I'm pretty sure they have nothing to lose by doing V070. Or they could think (correctly or incorrectly) that no future allocs are even remotely possible (it is far too early to truly draw that conclusion based on last experience with PCNA/PAG) and they don't want to run into trouble with you misinterpreting what a commission number and being in V070 status means. |
Some dealers just don't enter them until they have a confirmed allocation - that's the SOP at my dealership. I don't know if you can read too much into it.

Sadly, the state we are in is one of a lack of information (even for dealers). The dealers that do enter them in the system do it because they believe being able to let PCNA know the # of confirmed buyers is more beneficial than the risk of having to deal with a buyer complaining because their order was entered, but never got an alloc attached. Also, some dealers could enter them in as V070 to let PCNA know, but don't have to inform the buyer. :) There is nothing wrong with this, it really is just to let PCNA know. |

A reasonable upstanding dealer won't get your hopes up. But that can be handled without *not* entering you in the system. ;) |
