I have recently ordered a Cayenne V6 and i was told i would be receiveing it in Aug/Sept. However, i could have received it sooner but my local dealer told me that the factory in Germany closes down for the entire month of July!! Does anyone know if there is any truth to this? If so, i guess i'll just have to wait a little long for my baby.

 

Porsche does close down for a month during summer

 

It's a European thing.

 

It keeps their 10% unemployment rate in check.

 

Most of Europe actually takes the month of August off.

 

Congratulations for your new pepper. It's truth. All factories of all cars trades close in summer. Someones in july and others in agost. When you can put it on some pics of the baby. Ok?

 

same thing when you order furniture from italy.... they take breaks, which i do envy/respect.

hey, think of it this way... you'll be getting a cayenne put together by happy rested people.


congrats

 

thats what i figured. Thanks for all the responses..can't wait for the car.

 

except if you get it in September, you'll get one built *before* vacation, when they're all thinking of other things...

 

The Cayenne assembly in Leipzig is so highly automated that I don't think vacation daydreaming will have much affect on the robots!

As for the humanoids, at least they don't serve them beer in the factory like they do at the BMW plant in Munich!
