I looked on the Porsche site and checked a few dealers and the launch cars all seem to be the same: 19' wheels, 6 speed, sport seats, Bose, TPMS, heated seats, Bi-Xenon.

I called my sales rep today and he checked status of my car on the computer and then called me back.

Suggestion
some dealers are already allowing Caymans which are part of the launch to be test driven, if only around the block?

Suggestion
My dealer has been told (by PCNA?) that while launch cars and my car may be in by this weekend, they are not to offer test drives until 14th.
These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

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.

I called my sales rep today and he checked status of my car on the computer and then called me back. He said they are shipping 'launch' cars now and pre-sold cars shortly after. He said mine is 'sitting' in San Diego waiting and I would probably get it in week or two (I'm figuring the 14th for the official launch date). Launch cars are for test driving, one step past just looking at the floor display cars. I think he said the launch cars are black. So maybe this is all part of the grand marketing plan of Porsche to make sure the cars don't get released before the official launch date.
Karl,
The
'week or two'
statement would kill me! Geeezz, they have to be able top give more accurate info than that, that is pathetic. I still can't figure out how can they not know?
Russ
My dealer just got a black car in yesterday. He has two listed on his web site and one has this option: '762 - PAG Code - Launch code.' I guess I now know which car he got in. Thanks.
Don't feel too bad.
You could have my problem....
My car finished build 8 December 2005 and STILL hasn't made it onto a boat! ... and remember people on this side of the Atlantic never had to wait for the 15th so I have been expecting my baby for a few weeks now.
Does anyone have any idea how the car can sit around for a MONTH in Finland?
Colm
I looked on the Porsche site and checked a few dealers and the launch cars all seem to be the same: 19' wheels, 6 speed, sport seats, Bose, TPMS, heated seats, Bi-Xenon. No PASM or Chrono Sport.
From a 'reliable source' I was told the launch cars began their truck ride from the ports on the 4th. Some dealers already have these black cars and others expect them next week. The customer ordered cars are to begin their ride on the 11th according to the source.
The 'source' was a dealer/owner's PCNA 'connection' so this may be the true scoop?
In any case the 14th is only a week from tomorrow!
My dealer has been told (by PCNA?) that while launch cars and my car may be in by this weekend, they are not to offer test drives until 14th. Bummer for me, but maybe others will have better news. In honesty,will a couple more days really matter? RussK, we already know your answer, thank you
<blockquote id="quote">quote:<hr id="quote" noshade="noshade" height="1" /> they are not to offer test drives until 14th<hr id="quote" noshade="noshade" height="1" />I drove one today but now I can't tell you about it. If I could, I would tell you that it had 19 inch wheels and in subfreezing temperatures summer tires don't have maximum grip, especially when brand new. I would tell you that eventaking it easythe Cayman clearly has great handling and plenty of power over 4,000 rpm. I would tell you the steering and shift felt great and the motor sounded nice. I would tell you that while I could have walked away from the car they ordered for me, after today's ride I won't. I would also tell you that I can't wait to get mine and really drive it. Unfortunately, I can't tell you any of this since your dealer said I wasn't supposed to drive it. /fckeditor/editor/images/smiley/MWPX/wink_smile.gif</blockquote>

Wow, that's cool BT.... Is it me or is every day getting longer? I wish I was more busy at work, this killing me. And we've been having a heat wave here on So. Cal., no clouds and 85... Perfect new car days.
Chris,
It is not just you, we all are suffereing from the same affliction called Caymanlongvitis. This disease makes everything relating to your Cayman S slooooow down. BTW, do you know where your car is?
Russ
I just talked to my dealer and Wes is right! We have a black Cayman S than can be taken for a test drive! I will be there tomorrow for my first drive in Porsche in 25 years. He did say that we cannot take it on the freeway but around the block will have to do.
Russ
I really hope you don't come back and say you didn't like it much.
Just kidding - give us the real deal. I think you will LOVE it.

Russ, after your trip around the block please take it around the block for me too. My dealer isn't getting a launch car until who knows when and my car is probably Feb. So you have a duty to perform for those of us who are left out.
I will let my dealer know that I need a couple of extra laps for my friends. I was so excited when he told me I didn't even ask what options the car had.
Russ
I have not seen that code, after the IMPPRT (In Port) comes PDI (Pre Delivery Insp) and the PDIFIN (Vehicle Finished). All of that is supposed to happen in a couple of days and then that car should be free. I would think you are almost there!
Let us know!
Russ
Is there a reliable rumor that in the U.S. some dealers are already allowing Caymans which are part of the launch to be test driven, if only around the block? Lucky! Some folks who have their VINS already will be with dealerships to begin transaction processing once car has been shipped from port.. Timing from port to dealership is unknown, but can you imagine the staging and loading going on right now? WOW! They are bound to be using every conceivable auto transporter possible to handle both launch (several for each dealer probably) and presold cars. With that many new Caymans enroute, there are bound to be views. How about it folks...keep your eyes open and pass he word. Thanks.
I just picked mine up today in Scottsdale, Arizona. I am not sure if this was just a fluke thing or if Porsche pushed up the launch date, but my salesman surprised me today with a call that I could pick up the car. Hands down, the best surprise ever.
