I had left an opened statement in a previous post of mine and wanted to offer new information.
Hope you're not concerned that Porsche attorneys will read this thread and figure out a new angle in their defense, as I assure you they have already nailed down their legal line of reasoning.

I know a few lawyers that filed a complaint. We'll see. Do you have any comments on the CL's?

Design flaw is design flaw...nhtsa is not a court of law...
It puts people physically behind these cars at risk.
Dock, this has affected all of these cars' resale value no matter what you may think about it. Your car too. People are selling these cars and noting in classified ads here and there now that the coolant issue has been fixed. Once that is an expectation of the buyer, your saying your car is stock...without the fix...is stock without the fix. Can you guarantee your car won't leak?
Personally, it is in the owners' interest for financial and safety issues to have this fixed. Porsche screwed up and got caught...they've known about this for a long time (as they engineered a fixed supposedly). The NHTSA can get their hands on the dealer documents from Porsche saying x, y, and z. Porsche must know this. Frankly, given the profit margin on these cars, Porsche should just fix them and move on. Admitting they used a "then" best idea and just got burned. Happens. For me, it would be refreshing if they spun this as cutting edge enginnering can sometime cut back or something like that.
Frankly, if they don't fix this, my planned order of a new P car is not going to happen. That x 4 in my lifetime......so let them dicker on pennies and lose dollars.
