Default Gift Box from Porsche

Despite having been on a waiting list for my 992 for over a year, I have to say I've been really impressed by Porsche Canada's outreach. It seems a bit different than the experience in the U.S. as the corporate office seems to be aware that I've put down a deposit and have a signed order.

Anyway, over the summer they started me on a Christophorus subscription while I wait. Nice, but nothing compared to yesterday. A silver box arrived in the mail and when I opened it, there was a simple diecast model of a 1964 911. Very cool and a lovely touch while I impatiently wait.


Outside of the surprise package from Porsche Canada.

... and a nice little model inside.

I’m in a very similar spot as you! Been waiting for a 992 since 2021, and started getting the Christophorus subscription last year, a holiday card, and now this nice model. Same 1964 911 model that you got, it’s quite detailed.

Hoping this is the year for us to get good news about an allocation!

yes, it is called the art of manipulation so that you will decide not to go elsewhere. Psychology101.

Understood, but since I wasn't going anywhere, it is a nice touch.

Certainly an improvement over my situation. I was never sure I was getting a car or not

Nice! Lets see more of the model.

Back in 2020 I got a puzzle of a 911 in Nova Scotia.

I apologize for any confusion, but as an AI language model, I don't have access to specific information about individual purchases or promotions. The availability of gifts or promotional offers can vary depending on the specific retailer, region, and time of purchase. It's always recommended to check the terms and conditions of any promotional offers or contact the retailer directly for clarification on what gifts may be included with a purchase.

Very nice!...Seems to vary a lot- I got the usual tombstones and got nothing for some cars and something interesting for others, usually direct from Porsche rather than the dealer.

The US had a nice promo replica of the rear wing for the 997.2 RS but never came here - I tried to get one but no luck. Got a beautiful helmet bag in matching colour for the 991 RS and a nice little display of plastic engravings of the various generations of 911 for another car but that's about it.
