Hi,
I seriously doubt that there are any Franchise opportunities at all in the US. The existing Dealers will all have geographically based non-compete clauses in their Dealer Franchises.
For Porsche and a new Dealer to open one, the affected existing Dealers would have to relinquish part of their acquired rights to that geographical area, after being duly compensated of course. This could turn out to be the biggest expense of the whole package.
Given the high cost of entry and the limited sales, it would probably not make sense as a stand-alone dealership, rather an existing Dealer of other Marques may be able to make it work, but only through consolidating and ammortizing costs between the various other Dealerships they owned.
As a Stand-alone, I expect you couldn't produce a credible Business Plan which allowed you to turn the corner in less than a decade, maybe more, anything less would be so optimistic as to be labeled Fantasy by any Bank or Lending Institution...
Happy Motoring!... Jim'99
