Porsche's Sales Numbers
 

I found the following information very interesting on Porsche's web site, and thought that I would share this with the forum:



"Group sales increased by 15 percent to a total of 88,379 vehicles (previous year: 76,827 vehicles). This increase is due primarily to the extremely successful market launch of the new 911 and Boxster model generations. 27,826 cars in the 911 model line were sold, an increase of 17.4 percent compared with the previous year (23,704 cars).

Total sales of the Boxster model line were 18.009 units, an increase of 38.7 percent (previous year: 12,988 cars). Sales of the Cayenne, which has now been on the market for three years, rose again. 41,884 units of this sport utility vehicle were sold, a sales increase of 4.9 percent over the previous year’s figure of 39,913 units. Sales of the high-performance Carrera GT sports car went up strongly, with 660 units sold compared with 222 in the previous year."

Yes, things are looking up for our good friends in Stuttgart.

It is also interesting to note that prior to the launch of the Boxster, Porsches sales in the US were in quite a slump......Says a lot about how cool the Boxster is…. Sort of revitalized the company in my opinion.

Let's see how those Cayenne sales hold up in the face of $3.00+ a gallon gas. Still cheap compared to most of the world, but a big change in the US.
