Its not different than any other manufacturer of pretty much any product would d IMO.

Couldn't agree more.....

I would expect that the company would inform owners/dealers prior to a press release... or at least in conjunction with such.

I heard the same from my dealer, but I believe they are pretty much in the dark as well. In fact, I believe some forum members have much better access to info than the dealers.

That's simply the nature of "inside information."

I was at my dealer today to pick up my "Loaner" 2014 Boxter, which if I might add is quite a fun car just lacking in the speed department, but they had no clue of any press release for tomorrow. I'm hoping that there is one, but apparently I knew more about the problem than them. Guess it's just the waiting game now.

That yellow GT3 looks gorgeous! Best color for it, IMO. Are those the standard (platinum) wheels or silver? Do you have more pics of it?

What do you mean not accurate? We already know the problem is a leaky gasket, a bad conrod, a defective bracket, a torque wrench left behind during assembly and an overall wrong engine design. What's not accurate about such facts??
