Ok, so first semi impression but at least Car UK is a good magazine imho.

Passenger review with Jorg Bergmeister driving so I would take it as a very light press impression.

Press drives to be held in Spain towards the end of this month (June). Speculation is the press embargo will not expire for another two or three months after the drives.

Edit: Source = Jonny Lieberman via Spike’s Car Radio.

Per the following (see screenshot) 992.2 press drives are being held in Spain next week. FYI, Jonny Lieberman is an automotive journalist with Motor Trend. He is also a contributor to Spike’s Car Radio.

The media is in Spain this week to drive the 992.2s. I would not expect the press embargo to expire until sometime in August/September.

Is there another embargo other than the one lifted on May 18th? I thought all the details were released, what is this embargo for?

Harry's Garage posts thoughtful reviews, I like him. I use to like Chris Harris but he's all flash now.

The press is embargoed from disclosing any information pertaining to what they learn as well as any info specific to their drives until the date set by PAG has expired.

The press embargo ends July 9th and they can post content (photos and such) just not post their thoughts.

There's photos from the event posted on ig stories and Porsche even has all the hate comments about the hybrid (likely from this forum) posted in their presentation to the press

I will be highly surprised if it expires on July 9. That is just two weeks from today. An automotive media event typically runs for a minimum of a week, max two weeks as journalist from all over the world are rotated through the event.

Photos are clearly allowed. See my previous post above. Expect social media platforms from the press members to be bombarded.

Based on who I know is there, there's a lot of press AND influencers. Porsche knows they can't keep it embargoed that long so early July is when the embargo ends. I don't just pull random dates out of my hat...

People are receiving their cars soon, right? Why would there be a long embargo on the reviews… shouldn’t be really.

Some might be surprised, but several manufactures go months with a press embargo in place. FYI, If you are being given an actual date that the embargo expires then your source has already broken it.

Don’t believe any have left Emdem headed for the U.S. Plus the EPA will hold the initial batch at U.S. ports until EPA certification is released. Dealers recently went through this with S/Ts.
