Anybody else get the email from porsche or is it just a cheap lawyers trick?

I got the one asking me to stop putting Subaru engines in their cars. Is that the one you're referencing?

I got the email reference my 2014 Cayman. And I also have a 914 with a Suby Engine in it!!! And to make matters worse, I am also a cheap lawyer.

It is legit as class actions go, but I hate them all. Class actions are for lawyers, not the people who were harmed.

This isn't a VW type thing, it is about the Sport Plus selector not being efficient, and affecting the mpg but them not disclosing it. Now logic being what it is, it is a track mode and not for street, so seems self explanatory, but ... they always find a way to make money.

CA required me to take my Cayman S to the dealer for a "PDK Update" in which they gutted the Sport plus mode. Now it drives like it did in Sport mode, with subtle differences.

Yep that's what I thought. I don't want any more freaking spam emails or for my Sport mode reprogrammed. Deleted.

Thanks!
