2008 Carrera Order Form
I received a call from my dealer today, here in Miami, that the order form for the 2008 models have arrived. Back in January, I placed a deposit for a 2008 model hoping that I would get a facelifted version. Unfortunately, the 2008 order form for the US model has no mention of any changes to it. It is essentially the current version of the car. Orders placed today will be for an August delivery of a 2008 model. He said unofficial word is that the September Frankfurt auto show will reveal the new, facelifted model. This will be released in Europe January then followed by a US delivery in March/April as a 2009 model. The question now is, do I believe him? Well, he could have skipped all the further explanations and just said, come on in and place your order now so I can get my big fat commision. Instead he said, don't order it just yet, wait till we get the form for the facelifted 2009. I have to think that this shows a certain level of integrity, foregoing your own livelihood in order to fullfill your clients request. I am totally bummed about the news, but I believe it. They will hold my deposit until they have further information.
