Porsche Cars North America Reports 13 Percent January Sales Increase for Canada
ATLANTA--Porsche Cars North America, Inc. (PCNA), importer and distributor of Porsche sports cars and Cayenne SUVs in the United States and Canada, today announced January sales of 119 new cars compared to sales of 105 for the same period last year. This represents a double digit increase of 13 percent for the month.
Demand for Porsche's current Cayenne picked up speed following the premier of the new 2008 Cayenne at last month's North American International Auto Show. Sales of the Cayenne in January were up 57 percent compared to last year. Also notable for January was the continued momentum of the 911 series that recorded sales of 34 for the month, an increase of 48 percent. Boxster/Cayman sales totaled 30 for the month, compared to January 2006 with sales of 47, a result that benefited from the highly anticipated premiere of the Cayman series.
“The excitement generated by the world reveal of the next-generation Cayenne helped boost interest in the current model,” said Peter Schwarzenbauer, PCNA President and CEO. “We are obviously pleased with the strong rundown of this model as we prepare for the launch of the new Cayenne next month.”
In addition, dealers sold 25 Porsche Approved Certified Pre-Owned vehicles, compared to 21 for the same period last year.
