    2009 Carrera Delivery

    Anyone in the west coast take delivery of their new car yet? I've heard some EPA issues may be delaying delivery.

    I'd be surprised if there was an EPA issue. If there was an issue, they would not have released the launch cars. Also, my dealer had their first customer order ready for pick-up when I was there earlier this week.

    Re: 2009 Carrera Delivery

    I heard from my dealer that there is indeed a holdup on the 09's at the port. Don't know details on the reason (or why the launch cars went through)

    update: heard it is an emissions issue. word is that the cars should be released this week, but who knows...

    Its probably some governmental paperwork snafu (such as the import clearance )

    Re: 2009 Carrera Delivery

    '09 Turbo's were held up at port - from mid August until release last Friday...

    Seems CARB and EPA were a little unconvinced as to Porsche's emissions credentials on the Turbo...

    I would think this would be a simple thing to test and get certified. Have the testers and Porsche at an event, where EPA provides a test rig, measure what comes out of the pipe.. case closed. Why does that take several months? (Who cares about CARB as I'm not in Cali)

    i don't know about the turbo, but the other cars that were shipped have indeed been released and should be arriving (or have arrived) at a dealer near you...
