Re: OFFICIAL: New 911 GT3 (991)
nberry:
Porsche is not being up front with what the problems are with the GT3. They failed to tell the dealers or their customers as to why there is a stop sale on the cars other than to say it is related to engine issues.
Speculation has gone from an easy fix to the most recent out of Abu Dubai that some cars will need engine replacement because the rods are melting. Porsche needs to tell buyers like myself what the problem is and what it will take to fix it. The lack of explanation only leads to suspicion that Porsche does not know what the problem is.
I don't buy into the bullshit that Porsche knows what it is doing and will make it right. Porsche has a full plate with several new models and buyers are beginning to pay the price with quality issues.
It's possible they don't know exactly what the problem is (which would be embarrassing to admit), but it's also the case that in circumstances like these almost all companies fall into a sort of circle-the-wagons mentality and become rather tight-lipped, which leads to customer frustration. I've never really understood why companies generally don't understand the kind of customer frustration this leads to, although, I suppose they think it's best to not give the press real fodder to beat them up with.
