ATLANTA, Jan. 4 -- Porsche Cars North America, Inc. (PCNA), importer and distributor of Porsche sports cars and Cayenne SUVs in the United States and Canada, today announced 2005 was the best sales year in its history. PCNA sold 33,859 cars in North America, an increase of 2 percent over 2004 when the company sold 33,289 cars, its previous record. Of the 33,859 cars sold in 2005, 14,524 were Porsche Cayenne's, 10,653 were Porsche 911s, 8,327 were Porsche Boxsters and 355 were Porsche Carrera GTs.
