Slightly off topic: They'll be able to add new car models that have appeared this summer.

And that's great, so keep it up. We've got nothing to loose, everything to gain (hopefully we will get some true information and finally the big Porsche speculation will come to an end).

Assuming the EA-Porsche deal was a 10 year exclusivity, that would make the expiration date 2009... right? Also, Need For Speed: Porsche Unleashed was released almost 10 years ago, on March 24, 2000. Assuming GT's release date is in March 2010, i'd bet it's not just a coincidence that Poly is releasing GT in March, exactly 10 years the first NFS featuring Porsche was released.

Dear Sir,
Licensing the Porsche brand to Polyphony Digital's Gran Turismo 5 video game franchise is a fantastic opportunity not only for Porsche, but also for car and Porsche enthusiasts to experience the next best thing to owning one.
By licensing, you will be able to promote to adults and children:-
* The Porsche brand.
* A variety of vehicles on offer by Porsche.
* The handling, sound, look, texture and build quality of each & every car.
This opportunity can not only help Porsche to sell more vehicles (a clear motivator) but to also make more people aware of the vehicles on offer. Mercedes, Ferrari, Citroen have all liaised and worked with Kazunori Yamauchi at Polyphony Digital to bring their cars to the Gran Turismo franchise. Not everyone can own a Porsche, but there are millions of people who would love to own a Porsche. Someone has to win the lottery - and when they do - would you want them to buy a Ferrari?
You have a responsibility to make people want to buy Porsche. Licensing exclusively with Electronic Arts and the 'Need for Speed' franchise might at first appear to be a fantastic proposition and financially lucrative, but the truth of the matter is that everyone knows Gran Turismo. The Gran Turismo franchise has sold over 50 Million copies worldwide, featured on TV shows such as "Top Gear" and the latest installment of GT seeks to promote car magazines and TV programmes via "Gran Turismo TV".
Review your agreements for exclusivity. Sign with Polyphony Digital and bring the joy of driving a Porsche to millions of people.
Sincerely,
Lord Von PS3.

Also want to sent to Ferdinand Piech at VW, seeing as they've just bought Porsche. No luck with finding an e-mail address yet though.

FYI, Wiedeking no long works at Porsche. They bought him out this year.

I wouldn't try. Piech doesn't have complete control yet, and probably has several other issues to look at than where one of his brands sits in the video game industry.Also want to sent to Ferdinand Piech at VW, seeing as they've just bought Porsche.

Besides, it's already been shown that EA has an exclusive license & that if Polyphony wants Porsche, they'll have to ask EA for sub-license like Microsoft did.

Someone at GTRP already mailed Porsche and they sent him an astonishingly honest answer
http://www.gtrp.de/forums/showthread.php?t=34477
Basicly, they confirmed that EA has their license since Porsche Unleashed and is able to sublicense it.
They state that they respect EA's decisions, "even if it leads to decisions we ourselves would have made differently"
