Porsche Cars North America Reports January 2006 Sales
2006 Starts with Record Month due to Strong Sports Car Sales
ATLANTA, Feb. 1 -- Porsche Cars North America, Inc. (PCNA), importer and distributor of Porsche sports cars and Cayenne SUVs in the United States and Canada, today announced best-ever January sales in the United States. The company sold a total of 3,232 Porsches, an increase of 48 percent compared to January 2005.
This striking performance was carried mainly by the much-anticipated debut of the new Cayman S that resulted in total sales of the Boxster/Cayman series of 1,383 units and continued strong demand for the 911 range with 810 cars sold, 31 percent ahead of the same period last year. The Cayenne range held its own with a total of 1,028 units.
"We are thrilled with our customers' reception of the Cayman S," said Peter Schwarzenbauer, PCNA President and CEO. "With more than 1,000 cars sold in just over two weeks, our new mid-engine sports car exceeded both our and our dealers' expectations."
In addition, dealers sold 441 Porsche Approved Certified Pre-Owned vehicles, compared to 327 for the same period last year.
