I inquired about a Carrera T for a friend. My local dealership has two available (locked) incoming due in April . I was told that " expect new cars to be held at the port" and my guess that refers any new variant . Emissions tend to be an overall focus . The VW scandal raised the issue in the US and in the EU it seems more dependent on regional policies.
Just as the new cayenne was supposed to arrive but hasn't I think the 992 wont be here for awhile either .

I was told reduced 911's due to construction or reconstruction of factory to build Mission E.

Not disputing what the OP was told but in the 4 months since I have ordered my car and have been waiting and spending to much time on the forum I have heard:

1. Turbo plant manufacturer fire - big delays on 911 production
2. Assembly line workers going on strike
3. European regs changing over the summer so the bulk of the cars are going to Europe before then so they can get in before the law changes.
4. Now no gas cars built for 3 months.

Whether any of these are true I have no idea. Ordered and waited for quite a few cars from different manufacturers over the years and never once has anything popped up during the process that has given me concern over when my car will arrive.
Maybe Porsche marketing just works extra hard to try and artificially drive up demand or something. Maybe all of us on the forum are just way to crazy worrying about our cars. Dont even get me started on what goes on over on the GT3 board with all the ADM talk and availability. haha

This is most likely the truth. They did the same back in '12. Besides, the factories are different. The Stuttgart plant is probably going to be refurbished for the new line. That, in addition to training and organizing, should take about 3-4 months. The Leipzig plant keeps on going with the 4 doors.
I would wait, even to shop for a barely used 991.2 once the 992 comes out.

You forgot to list the unknown parts shortage affecting only the GTS that came up in November. :evilgrin:

Yes thanks. I knew there was more but couldn't remember everything!!

This is the same issue as Number 1.

Wow, love the blue car -- and the blue top really sets it off. I have a 991.1 in Midnight Blue with a blue top, but your body color really pops with that top. Mine just sort of "blends in" better than with a black top.

I saw a chalk, or crayon, targa last week at the Woodland Hills, CA dealer and it looked spectacular. Way, way nicer than the car in the configurator. Just classy and badass at the same time - which is not easy. Chalk and graphite blue are my top choices. If I could pick between the two I would have.

thanks.... Im now actually reconsidering, not the color combo, but whether to wait for a 992 as I doubt I will buy another car for such a price in the next 5 10 years, may as well get the latest shape....

thanks!

I have a feeling that if you ordered a car and it "locked" then it's going to get here on time .
