I've pretty much given up trying to make a logical guess at what Polyphony Digital is going to do because their logic can be pretty mystifying.
However, I can't imagine any rational, sane developer delaying a game that has already been 5 years in the making just to try and woo 1 manufacturer into the game--even if that manufacturer is the icon we know as Porsche.
I mean FFS, if that's all that's holding GT5 up, they could just release it "when it's ready" instead of waiting for Porsche's contracts to expire.
They could just release Porsche's as DLC later.

They could, assuming what u imagined is true. But if the story is that theyre being prevented by a competitor through legal tactics, then that's a different variation of events.
On a sunnier and somewhat more intriguing note, i queried a local psychic friend of mine on this most important topic regarding GT5, and she told me that "PORSCHE WILL BE IN GT5". That was the intuitive insight she perceived while in a semi-self-induced trance state that reduces activity in the left-frontal lobe, taking out the conscious reasoning faculty and enabling enhanced intuitive powers to be temporarily activated in the brain. Apparently intuitive insight defies logical explanation, but HeartMath claims to have evidence to the contrary. lol

I responded to this that there are games with Porsche cars which are not from EA. Here is Porsches 2nd answer, which I just received:
Porsche contact

In other words, what Porsche is trying to say is that they didn't know that giving exclusivity to EA would cascade down into PD struggling to get a Porsche to feature in GT.. and it's believable. Porsche was in bed with EA before PD was even on the scene, which means that EA must have convinced Porsche way back then (sometimes in the mid to late 90's) that it was in Porsche's best interest to let them exclusively handle the sub-licensing on the gaming side... Sucky! It would be been in Porsche's best interest to set up their own software division, but unfortunately back then they didn't anticipate how far gaming / racing simulation would evolve. doH! lol
So, I wonder when the Porsche-EA contract expires or on what terms EA would be willing to let PD feature Porsche in their lineup of cars? Anyone know something?

I just sent an e-mail to EA, asking for more info.

Well, I have nothing to lose other than a few minutes of my life, which I think are worth it. 
If all negotiation fails and there's no viable way of getting Porsche on-board, then PD will have to improvise and use the option to get a few other tuners on side as a substitute (and it's a pretty nice substitute too!).. Think of Techart, Edo Competition, Gemballa, Sportec, ... These tuners all have a nice array of Porsche's to select from, and I'd be more than happy to have at least 2 or 3 of these guys on-board 👍
