They "punch" the warranty on the leftover cars to get the incentives from Porsche to sell the leftovers ... then they sell the car as preowned, even though it's still new.

This is how it works. The factory to dealer incentive on 2012's expired last November I think, so on November 30, most dealers "punched" the cars sold to collect the trunk money. It's then up to them whether they want to sell it as "new" with reduced warranty, "preowned" with remaining warranty, or certify to get the extended warranty. This probably varies by state rules and dealer policies to some extent. I know when my dealer offers up "Porsche Certified" used cars, you have the option of dropping that designation and saving the $2K or so that it costs the dealer, it's basically tacking on an extended warranty insurance policy.
I'm amazed but not totally surprised there are are still some "new" 2012's floating around. I would think they're mostly highly optioned cars that even with incentives are still too high for most people to consider a bargain.
