I know that many of the members of the 914 World Forum own more than a Porsche 914. If you own a Porsche Boxster, Cayman or 911 built between 2005-2019, you may be eligible to participate in a class action settlement payment ranging from approximately $200 to $750 per car due to Porsche's misrepresentation of the car's fuel economy and/or exhaust emissions profile.
Go to this website to find out more: https://www.porschegasolinesettlementusa.com I just learned about this from a short article on the Reuters news website. The deadline to submit a claim online is December 7, 2022. I will be submitting a claim for my 2006 Cayman S. |

The other thing many people may not realize is that we all pay for these class-action lawsuits in the end, thru higher prices. The lawyers are the ones who really make out.

I don't think the management of VW-Porsche would have shelled out around $80Million if this class action lawsuit was without any merit. They got caught again with their pants down. |

"I don't think" you know how these work. It's a business decision, as in "$80M is a bargain compared to the legal costs - and risks - of fighting it." And the sharks know that. And the more owners that camp onto these "class action lawsuits" the easier the decision. GA, who had to give up a fav TDI for silly reasons and is still not happy about it... |

I was required to take my car to the dealer for a mandatory recall related to this lawsuit. Porsche dealer is 20 miles away. I had to take time off work; didnt have the car for the day; had to get rides.
They can pay me for the inconvenience. Sorry guys, I know you don't like the lawyers, but thats only until you need one. They didn't offer a loaner a ride or coffee for that matter. I don't feel bad one bit. Perspective is always different depending on what window you are looking out of.
