No USB drive but got the TT paperweight on Friday. They are a marketing machine! Over the years I have received very cool collectable items from Porsche. They always keep the brand top of mind.

Funny how the packaging is so special.

Like unwrapping the extremely slick package is just as important as getting the trinket that's inside.

I got both in the mail last week, first the Panamera key (usb) and then the Turbo box. My buddy who has a 2009 Cayenne GTS got both as well. I bought a 2007 RS and now a 2009 TT Cab - so I guess that is why they came my way.

I am pretty sure that your dealer adds you to the lists for various promotions. My dealer asked if I liked my Panamera promotion and said they added me to some list so I would receive one.

I hate to bitch about something that is free but the paperweight is kinda of small.

I emailed PCNA and they haven't heard about a 2010 997.2 Turbo brochure...so I attached a copy of the pic and hopefully they will now recognize it. I would really like to see the details, even if it is in a promotional 'book'.

Has anyone received this in Canada?

I get mine too, but they sent it to my previous address - got a call that it was there and it will be forwarded to me

Funny thing, though, as I haven't actually owned a turbo in a number of years.

+1.

330k cash since '05 for me (not counting 2 BMWs, a Chevy truck, and all the trade ins I gave them) and I get ZIP! No USB, no books, not ****é.

I think it's the dealer's fault. I hate my dealer... and, obviously, my dealer hates me.

Bill Pearce Porsche / BMW Reno, you suck.

OMG, I left the '05 Cayenne S out of the total! That's approx. 400k! I hate my dealer.

Are you for sure sure on that brochure?

I have one I got from when I returned home from Lithuania an odd few weeks back. But that is down here in good ol' Bakersfield. Have to mention that this time the sales people were beyond helpful and nice to me even though we drove up in our dirty as heck Subaru Impreza 2008, nope not even WRX. Last time I was there before I was out of town I wasn't treated that well, rode up on my single speed bike that time. Think the person I talked to might have been a customer posing as a sales rep.

Sorry TMI, nothing to see here; move along.

Bill Pierce haa! Something about some dealerships in towns where the next closes dealership can be over 100 miles away; they can get big headed and have attitudes. I know that the Honda dealership in Reno is way overpriced and they happen to be ********. But just take a short drive to Carson City and you will get taken care of. I heard some stories about Bill Pierce when I lived in Reno oh boy! I bought my Impreza at Lithia Subaru there. Good folks. I get lifetime oil changes there and at any Lithia delearship in the US. It's just too bad they sold their Infiniti dealership in Bakersfield otherwise I would be getting free changes here since I moved back.

Can't wait to get all the percs from PCNA when I eventually do become a member.

I must have missed this the first time around. Being local, I tried to give Bill Pearce my business and the sales staff were complete a-holes so I bought my 2009 997TT and 2009 CTTS from Niello in Sacramento. The funny thing is the service department is a completely different story - there are some great people at Bill Pearce Porsche Service.
