Full leather interior 997 still stopped!

I find that pretty much unacceptable from a manufacturer like Porsche and was wondering if the delaer was BS-ing me or if anyone have heard about this leather problem as well?
Thanks in advance.

No, definitely not, Porsche, like Mercedes import their leather from Argentina because they are no barbwire there, but Mercedes does not have a leather supply problem.
This leather supply problem has been running for a while now and when I mentionned it on Rennteam, other Rennteamers confirmed from their dealerships that the story was indeed true.
I just wanna check if it's still the case or if my dealer is BS me. I do not trust dealers at all, they are thiefs, dishonnest, liars and ignorant incompetent people.

Definitely sucks to be put on yet another waiting list as it were. Would put delivery into a UK fall or winter too. Sorry to hear that. If it were I, I would consider putting off my order (re-ordering) the car so it arrives in Spring. You'd get a better car perhaps (possiblely fewer bugs)? The nice thing about waiting is that once the car arrives you totally forget about the waiting after a few weeks... . Wait..., no..., there's NOTHING nice about waiting!!Definitely suuucks to suffer from somebody screwing up the leather orderfulfillment.

it's always the same with PAG. i don't get it. this is really annoying. they are building the 911 for over 40 years now and are always "suprised" by the high demand for this and that option. it was the same when i ordered my first C2 back in 2000. it was delayed for 2 months because "we didn't expect so many orders with full leather interior and PSE". hello? any carrera out there WITHOUT full leather interior?
cancel it, get a F430, all the essentials come as standard -- full leather and great exhaust sound included!![]()
