Default I could not take it anymore...

I got four or five of these emails with different Porsche models in the past week. I couldn't take it anymore and responded. Hope someone will start working harder at PCNA.


Dear Andre,


Thank you for sending 4 or 5 emails in the past week advertising your cars. I’m a big fan. Of cars not emails. My Panamera Turbo S Hybrid has been stick at the port since December. And my Carrera T has been at the same port for over a month now. I would much rather drive the cars than dream about them.

Venting at PCNA marketing may not do much good, but hopefully you feel better.

I'm not venting. Got plenty of cars to drive and plenty more on order. Just making fun of the situation where they advertise the cars that they have trouble getting to customers.

Way to show them who's boss is, call your dealer and tell them you're bailing on the cars. Porsche is dropping the ball in many ways when it comes to customer relations.

I'd keep complaining. I was just talking to the sales mgr. at my Porsche dealer earlier today, and he mentioned the disaster with the Panamara Hybrids hung up on the dock. He said that Porsche threw some money at one of his irate customers to placate him, and make sure he still buys the car. Perhaps the squeeky wheel does get the grease.

My dealer treats me like a king. I wouldn't put him in a middle. Anyway it wasn't intended to show anything to anyone. Just to draw attention to a fairly ridiculous situation.

Yes, PCNA sent us all an email. Offering I think $2,500 off of this car or any other we want to buy instead of the Hybrid.

I have gotten the same emails. I typically read and delete, but today I decided to vent a bit out of frustration. I dropped a few lines about currently waiting for a 911 GTS allocation and not getting an allocation for a GT3. I'd love to rediscover the Icon.... Turning 50 next month and figured I'd get another one. I guess the Icon email will have to do.

I don't get any emails from them. I guess they know I am hopeless Porschephile and I'm going to buy whatever they make!

If you are really hard up for some more emails, and maybe even a few phone calls, get some quotes on shipping one of those vehicles. I made a mistake of getting quotes to ship my TTS and I can't seem to shake them now. Like herpes they are so bad.

That was a funny one. How exactly does someone specially curate a design package? What is involved in that?
