To anyone with a Porsche in the garage, sign up for the class action lawsuit.

Not sure how I'm going to prove when I bought our Cayenne... :P

Anyone, RRocket?, tried to get any further in this?   
Does it cover Canada?

Don't want to put in much effort if it's useless

I don't remember what it said, something like "not eligible", and the Macan was on the list so I assumed it was only for US

Checked the Panamera Turbo - doesn't qualify. Also tried my old jalopy for the lol's, it's also not qualified.

I tried...but for whatever reason my car isn't covered. And my car was originally a US car.

Even sent an e-mail to legal to double check and "nope" my car isn't on the list.

Nice.

Good choice with the simple "718" on the back.   The 100 character long model names on the back of recent Porsches is a bit much!   ;D

The sound should tell you everything you need to know about your 718.  If it sounds like a WRX, it's not a GTS.

That’s pretty neat. Love that it’s a model as well. A little bit of interaction there.

A few months after I bought the GTI, a Fast showed up in the mail. Kinda silly, but kinda fun at the same time.

It was a promotional thing that VW cooked up for the MKV GTI. They had a few left over, so sent them out with the first MK6s as well, but just in Canada. Apparently there weren’t enough left over to do the U.S.

Okay that's pretty cool!

I'm wondering if I'll get anything neat with the LC. I've gotten my share of press launch swag but I think the way they treat you / small touches when you buy a new vehicle is icing on the cake and just enhances the good feeling you already get.
