Just got notified from my dealer that my order is also delayed because of the EPA!

I am not sure why this wasn't cleared before. Couldn't Porsche just send them a base model for testing (before the general release)?

Allegedly I can't lock in and confirm my euro delivery date yet with PCNA because the base C4 is not yet certified in the US for sale. Hope for good news soon

Normally I don't revisit older threads, but I just received a note from my SA that the base for sale date has been pushed up from 2/14 to 1/20. He also mentioned that PECLA won't be taking any deliveries whatsoever in March, so it's sounding like I will need to cross my fingers in hopes that I'm able to grab a timeslot in Feb for delivery.

I was told the same thing last week. 1/20 on sale date instead of 2/14 for the base car. Hopefully mine is here on 1/20. Been sitting at the docks in San Diego since 11/21.

Thank you for letting us know! Glad to hear some good news for a change.

Edit: Track your Dream App has also been updated to reflect the 24th for delivery. Fingers crossed.

Does anyone see the base on the carb list? Doesn't seem to be there as of 1/14/2020.

Base Carreras were released today. I was told by my SA that mine was going to be at the dealer by the end of the week.
