Porsche Reports January 2007 Sales
 |
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 2,984 in the United States compared to last year's record-setting January of 3,232, representing a decline of 8 percent.
After taking the wraps off its new 2008 Cayenne--which goes on sale March 3rd--last month at the Detroit Auto Show, Porsche recorded strong sales of 1,404 for its current Cayenne, an increase of 37 percent over the previous January with sales of 1,028.
“In preparation for the market launch in March of the new-generation Cayenne, we are obviously pleased with the strong rundown of the current model,” said Peter Schwarzenbauer, PCNA President and CEO. “ Clearly the excitement generated by the world debut of the new Cayenne last month helped boost showroom interest in the Cayenne overall.”
Porsche's sports car sales were again led by the 911, which enjoyed a record-setting January with sales of 922 cars sold versus last January when sales were 810. Boxster/Cayman sales totaled 658 for the month, compared to January 2006 with sales of 1,383, a result that benefited from the highly anticipated premiere of the Cayman series.
In addition, dealers sold 456 Porsche Approved Certified Pre-Owned vehicles, compared to 436 for the same period last year.
