ALDO:
Mine source, direct from P., told me the same.
But - But - But - there are speculations that new models will be introduced in december and not after the summer holidays. That would mean MJ 2013 will be introduced in 12.2012 and not 08.2012.
For me, hard to believe, because the machine change could be done in the period the employees are on vacation.
Since the facelift doesn't require a production machinery update, just a few software tweaks and some smaller changes here and there, it is possible that a facelift could be introduced end of the year.
I don't know however how Porsche would handle the introduction of completely new models because you are right, this would require a shutdown or at least a substantial slow down of production and the summer vacation is just perfect for that.
Personally, like yourself, I doubt it (the end of year MY change) but with VW at the steering wheel, everything is possible.
Does somebody know how Volkswagen is handling MY changes ? When and how ?
