Yes, there is an EPA delay, further testing is required. They are all being held. EPA and CARB certification issues. From what I hear, quite a few have been sitting at port since late August.

Doh! Any thoughts on how long this will take? Are we sure it is not a clear out the 2008 inventory delay?

I can definetly confirm this, I recieved an email from my dealer about ten days ago stating the above which they had recieved from PCNA. I can't imagine what condition my car is in, it has been sitting at the port for a few weeks now... this is killing me
