Porsche Reports July U.S. Sales; Year-to-Date Sales Increase by Sixteen Percent

    ATLANTA, Aug. 4 -- Porsche Cars North America, importer and
distributor of Porsche sports cars in the United States, today announced sales
and stock figures for the month of July 1999.  Sales were down by 24 percent
over the same period in 1998.  This decline is once again the result of lower
availability created by an accelerated sales pace earlier in the year.  Since
the first of the year, PCNA has sold 13,092 cars versus 11,244 cars sold
through July 1998.  This represents a 16 percent sales increase for the first
seven months of 1999.
