My audi dealer has a sweet 20 r8 they are willing to deal on. I’m very close to pulling the trigger on that and dumping my order. The issue of it sitting in the elements for months is the dealbreaker. I never park my car outside. Why buy one, at basically full price, that’s been sitting in the sun for months. If mine isn’t released Friday I think I’m out, buying the R8.

Last night I was at 11/6, this morning its been pushed to 11/13. I think Porsche is f____ng with me at this point. Regardless of how others feel, I need to love the car and the experience. This is a very bad experience.

According to TYD this morning, my delivery date is moved from 10/16 to 11/6. Still no pictures....
This is not nice....
I talked with EPA, they said it is the manufacturers who do not want the status of approval to be made public before their cars are certified for sale.
(EPA is prevented from making the certification process public)
Both Porsche and EPA are very good at directing the blame to each other, as this process is very opaque...

My car originally showed 10/30 to the dealer, then 10/9, and now 11/6. It doesn't matter really since I wasn't going to pick it up until 10/31 at the earliest anyway since that's when I get my quarterly commission but it's still a little disappointing, especially since I see Mediterranean Highway right off the coast of RI at the moment.

To all of those waiting my I understand your pain. I cant imagine bieng pushed back after waiting as long as you all have. That said for those of you thinking of cancelling just because the car has been sitting out doors for 2 months I am not sure that that makes total sense. These are cars and are meant to be able to handle the weather and while Porsche paint is not the finest there should be no reason a car cant sit out for two months without any ill effects. My boxster was born in January and sat out doors until I bought it at the end of August and when I took it to be evaluated for a protective wrap they commented on how pristine the paint and soft top looked. Your cars will be fine and will be no worse off. Hang in there it will be worth it

I blame Porsche 100% for not telling its really good customers what is going on and in detail as to when we can expect a resolution. It is starting to make me suspicious about the emissions as a general problem that is difficult to resolve . . . and I am no conspiracy theorist or subscriber.
If my Spyder allocation comes up before this is resolved I may walk my order and go Spyder. Although . . . . I am really a 911 person.
