Default 2010 GT3 is on the ship...arrival TBD

I expect the ship to pull into an East Coast port in a few days. Does anyone know when the 2010's will actually be released to the dealers? My rep said they haven't been told yet, so he has no idea how long it will sit before he gets the car.

I have been told September repeatedly by my dealer, though he doesn't seem confident in any info he's getting on the GT3 from PNA, so who knows.

PCNA will be holding MY10 Carreras etc. at the port so dealers can rid themselves of MY09 inventory.

The GT3 should NOT be effected and should pass thru no problem.

MJones, you have been a more reliable source of info than any other, so I'm hoping you're right on this one as well. I've only been without a car for a little over a month, but its killing me.

Pick it up ASAP and let us know about the little hole in the sky - it better not have one!

Dealers amaze me...
The status of an order, where it is in the production, is just a few keystrokes away, all the salesperson has to do is input the reference # and viola...

Once ONVESL status is reached, the vehicle shipping report can tell you what ship it is on and it's ETA.

Shame on all salespeople who try to mystify the process or make up stories, when in fact all the info is easily available and takes moments of time to get! So easy even a caveman could do it.

Bug your salespeople !!!!!!

We know for sure already that there is no sunroof. Was a thread with a US-spec picked up in Zuffenhausen (tourist delivery) and the roof was pure - no untoward holes

My Rep knows that the car was completed on June 16th and he knows it's on a ship due to reach the east coast in a few days. What he doesn't know is if PCNA will release it to him right away. He said PCNA haven't given a firm commit date to release the 2010's to the dealers. So he knows how to use the computer and he knows what status the car is in. Fortunately no mystery, just a lack of concise info.

The Aegean Hwy is estimated to arrive in Baltimore 7/15

May take up to two weeks process and deliver as all GT3 cars are transported via Intercity Lines
