Default 997 In Paris

This timing wouldn't make a lot of sense. What's your source for the information??

I've heard rumors of July debut.

Don't they switch over the Stuttgart assembly lines in August?

I think a July intro would make much more sense, given the August assembly-line switch...Porsche shuts down for a couple of weeks during that period, as I recall.

I believe that is the end of Porsche's fiscal year. They run Aug.1st - July 31st. It makes sense they take a short break.

Actually the break has nothing to with the Year End. It's a European "thing", whereby everyone goes on Vacation.

Ever noticed where a lot of restaurants, etc. close for a month for annual vacation, or have you tried Paris in August?.

Default According...

According to some of the PNA guys I met at a recent PDE course the 997 is being rolled out to US dealers during the month of August. So, I reckon that means the dealers will be rolling it out to the public in Sept./Oct.
