I called into PCNA inquiring about my letter. I received a phone call today and the Official response was.

"All 997 cars (for North America), GT3, GT3RS will have sunroofs."

Nothing can be done about it, no ifs and or buts.

So, with that I bid you all adu, I am jumping ship to the Ferrari, and will be looking at a F360CS or trying to wrangle me up a F430CS.

Moth** F*#$*%^!!!! Wow. Even the RS.

What a joke. Porsche has no respect for the NA market, right back at ya!

The focus groups have won!

I meant that I am not a previous F car buyer and I would need to get on a list somewhere or buy one previously enjoyed with 100 miles on it.

So I will need to chase an F430 CS down and Wrangle on up.

That is so gay. RS has no meaning anymore in North America.

Brembo Floating Rotors (front)
RS Flywheel/Clutch
Tequipment Roll Bar
GT3 Cloth Seats
Sabelt Harnesses

Cosmo,

I believe you...if what you were told is true, this SUCKS!!

Maybe it's time we go directly to PAG with this! I'm sending my letter (the same one) to PAG and letting them know that I've yet to receive a response. Let's see what that does?...not holding my breath...

They do not care what a few dozen people think. Relax go for a drive in your favorite car.

I will not go thru with my RS order if this is true. I want a 997 GT3 of some kind but I feel that I can afford the the RS , HOWEVER I can't see how they will justify the price differential. I will probably get a regular GT3(997) knowing full well it is more of a "poseur" than my '04 GT3 but still faster and way better looking. To make myself feel better I will pull out 200lbs which will make the little bastard really haul a**. I hate the sunroof idea but I'll make it work. I may change my mind and not get a Porsche..... I'm so confused... (sobbing)

SHEIZE!!!!
i wonder what the cayman RS will have...can u get those without sunroofs?


that's all i have left to say on this. thank you and goodnight.

MJSpeed

The more I think about the more upset I get...this is just plain BS...

In Paulie "Walnuts" Gaultieri's (from the Soprano's) "SON OF A BITCH!!"

I just may go the used 360CS route! Thanks PCNA you guys suck!

still not gettin ya?
ferrari has never made an f430cs
people in the know on f-cars don't think one is coming.
there is a f430c

my honest opinion is that they have heard from enthusiasts and will rectify their mistake in the next model year.
i think it was too late b/f the voices were heard to make the change this year.
course, that doesnt do anybody any good NOW!

Who are these people in the know?
I don't keep up with F stuff, but the next CS seemed beyond doubt. And why would Ferrari not continue the Stradale?

Carrera GT

Of course the next CS (or whatever it becomes) will be at least 2x the RS at the sticker. In any case, I think it's good that PCNA is willing to be explicit and unambiguous even if I'm of the opinion they have a collective hole in their head and their heart.

For what it's worth I recently learned of a new effort to compel PCNA to change the sunroof decision and to become visible and utterly accountable to PCAG especially in terms of the Porsche brand if not as a matter of local (USA) sales and marketing decisions. After all, if they think this is their best play in the local market, so be it, it's their call, their business, their decision. But if PCAG deems this to compromise the Porsche brand, it becomes a decision to be made on a global level, not just a cost-cutting decision from a regional operation which has made many questionable decisions.

What a concept; a car manufacturer that actually listens to their customer!
