Port Delays

For those of you getting strung along with cars that completed in July and have not hit yet, there is a delay, and a few rumored reasons for it.

First, the German holiday goes through 8/23 or so, and not much is being done on the German side to move cars out.

Second, the next boat out is supposedly 8/29, on which most of the delayed cars will go.

Third, there is an apparent QC issue with Cayenne V8's, but PAG is not saying what.

Not sure if this helps, but the cars will get here, just later than usual. Some cars are apparently at US port and being held, which is odd, unless they are holding some '08's for launch cars to show first. Who knows.

Anyway, that's the latest news.

The rail strike hasn't started yet due to a German court delaying it until the end of September.

Luckily for me since my 2008 TT is still sitting in Germany...
