I'd be very curious to know what Porsche's criteria is. I wonder if salespeople are each allowed to refer a certain number of their customers or whether the decision of who to include comes straight from PCNA.

Mike, you would think someone like you who has custom ordered two cars in the last three years that too one with a tourist delivery would be on their mailing list for such items. I am checking my mail much earlier than ever these days ... losing hope as days pass by

Maybe they figured you just order all these new cars and don't need another one? LOL

I did get one, Amar. I'm just don't know why I would get one and you wouldn't, for example, since except for the TD part, you meet the same critreria. That's why I wondered if salespeople had anything to do with it; mine is in regular communication with me on events and other things.

I just got the box and figured it was some kind of a nice gift after dropping some pretty decent coin on a custom GTS Cab. I have to say I was a bbit disappointed. Was it too much to ask for a t-shirt or mug or something. Sheesh, I just bought this one and the distinct feeling I got is that they're already trying to sell me another.

I don't seem to end up on any of Porsche's lists, 3 new cars in the last 2 years. My dealership, POV, more than makes up for it.

Maybe they are sending them in some sort of a sequence. Let's play a game and see if we see any correlations. Lol.

I received one. In the past 2 years I've bought two 2007 C2Ss, both CPO'd from a dealer. One replaced the other after it was totaled. Never bought a new P car, so I'm not what you'd call a good prospect based on past experience, but maybe they've figured out that I 'could' buy one.

Just got my present from Porsche. Pretty cool. I like what I see of the 991 so far but will keep my 12 GTS for a bit, maybe 2 years, while they flesh out the 991 before I make a move. I'm thinking 991 GT3, or if rumors are accurate, a GTS version of the 991. Have to say I am very pleased with my 12 GTS. The 991 had better be real good to make me jump.

I got the same box. Glad most people liked it, but I thought it was kind of stupid. Just send me a hat, not some silly desktop plastic thing.
