2 this year and 8 for the balance of '14 (2 per quarter.
Do I pull the trigger for this year or for next?

Ok, well. I got the call that I now have an allocation. Awesome!
But, the build date will be Q4 2014? Uh...geez. I was optimistically thinking production would happen much faster than this. My dealer is basically getting one car per month, which when you consider the number of global dealers, I guess makes sense.

Oh, I forgot you are in San Diego! I am #5 and was given a second quarter allocation. If someone drops out, I get into the first quarter. You're on for coffee.

Perhaps this is optimal for their production line, perhaps it's a ham-fisted attempt at balancing supply and demand. A patent failure on both counts. Either Porsche is in the business of building 911's, or it's not.
The marketing guy says "shut up and drive" ... year after next?!

Being told your 2013 car will be ready to drive in 2015 is **** on a bull. Interesting, but not relevant or useful.

I may be a naive optimist but I get the feeling that Porsche will be moving up many of these production dates. What do I based this on? Nothing except that Porsche is in the business of making money and if they have the capacity to produce earlier they will.
