Got mine too, but disappointed that all it was was a brochure! I was expecting a thumb drive at least!

 

I received one yesterday as well.

 

I wonder how many RMS leaks and other problems they will have to reject under warranty to pay for this junk.

 

I got my little red package and it was leaking oil from the rear center binder, that's how I knew it was an official Porsche product

 

^ good one.

I agree that the brochure is quite general, but still like the move by PCNA to acknowledge loyal customers...a little stroking never hurts in tough times.

 

I received one as well but I would prefer more information/details in the kit.

 

PDK Cayman cabriolet owners get nothing!

 

Took it as a sign that I should buy the 2010 GT3 I was on the fence about. I'll pick it up tomorrow!

I guess they know what they are doing in the marketing department!

It did have SOME redeeming value - cool photos and graphics.

What an obscene waste of resources from the paper it was printed on to the air in the head of the marketing people. Just irrelevant, outdated and useless to all but perhaps a tiny fraction of buyers.

How many GT3 buyers dislike getting timely information off the Web and would rather get outdated and superficial junk mail in print?

I received two (one was using my address for another name...) so they didn't even "cleanse" their customer database before they pulled the trigger on this million dollar scatter gun.

I think if they mailed a simpler USB drive with a couple of laps of the GT3 or RS lapping various tracks (Laguna, Nurburgring, etc.) using a decent data acquisition system and maybe included the equivalent Sport Chrono (or updated Chrono to include transponder beacon functionality so that it was useful...) you could then use some sort of replay software to watch the videos and examine the track data.

Then you could imagine putting that USB drive in your own GT3 and gathering your own lap data to "race" against Rohrl or some of the other factory or team drivers.

How long has Porsche been selling Sport Chrono? Has it improved at all beyond being the most expensive and awkward stop watch in history? Anyway, I'm off on a tangent.

If Porsche's reacting to flat-line on sales, they should go to the point of the problem -- the incompetent, lazy sales staff in their franchise stores. Start by compelling the dealers to sack half their sales staff, then budget on training and motivating the remaining half. I think almost everyone on Rennlist is tired of the same-old, same-old from the 90's where the customer knows more about the cars and factory plans than the sales staff. And it's no use playing this "privilege of ordering a car" game any longer.

Porsche might do well to learn from the mistakes of Ferrari. And it could surely learn from visiting a Lexus dealership -- from which they need to go upscale, not downscale.

If they want a known customer to buy a car, don't send junk snail mail. Instead, go back to basics: get the sales person to call and leave a voicemail with an invitation, send an email with real information and an invitation. Start a sales cycle -- create awareness, generate demand ...

 

I got mine as well. Thought it was a nice touch.

 

Got it and chucked it before opening, since you guys already showed me that inside the box Porsche wasn't sending me a key to a new one without an RMS.

 

Oh man, now you're going Area 51 on us...

 

I got one and it's a nice package. It's thin on technical content though,

 

got one. Blah..........
