The new 'demo' Caymans hitting the US dealer showrooms are not quite what they appear to be. They look, smell and even sound like 170+ mph cars, but they top out at 20 mph. Yes, that's just twenty mph. The cars are owned by PCNA & essentially leased to the dealers w/tight written restrictions. They are not for sale until & unless the dealers buy them & that won't happen until after Jan. 15th. That's why the Monroney stickers are all stamped w/the PCNA owned - not for sale stamp. Among the rules: - they can't be driven off the dealer's premises; - they can't be driven by other than an employee of the dealer; - they can't be driven w/any non-employee passenger; - they can't be displayed anywhere outside the dealer's premises; - they are to covered on the showroom floor except when shown to a prospective customer; - there can be no group showings until after Dec 14th; - etc., etc. Apparently PCNA doesn't trust its dealers to follow the rules. To ensure compliance w/the driving limitations, the engine mgmt computer has been programmed to limit top speed to 20 mph. Special software is apparently needed to reprogram the governor & that will be provided to each dealer 'when it is needed.' Unbelievable. Edited by - lizardS on 11/25/2005 11:41:10 AM

Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

That isodd - but would you trust someone with your new Cayman????? Not me !!! LOL
Interesting!Hope fully I will find out something more today. My dealer told me most of that with the exception of the 20 MPH thing. Russ
