New Panamera off to Strong Start
ATLANTA--(Business Wire)--
Porsche Cars North America, Inc. (PCNA), importer and distributor of Porsche
sports cars, Cayenne SUVs and the Panamera Gran Turismo in the United States,
today announced October sales in the U.S. of 1,642 units compared to the same
period last year when it sold 1,427, up 15 percent. This marks the third
consecutive month that PCNA has recorded an increase in year-over-year sales
from 2008.
On sale for only about two weeks, Porsche`s new four-door Panamera has already
recorded sales of 360.
"The market launch of the Panamera was October 17, so the number is
encouraging," said PCNA President and CEO, Detlev von Platen. "Just as
importantly, we expect the Panamera to bring additional momentum to our
dealerships that will benefit our entire model line."
Also notable for October were sales of the German automaker`s mid-engine sports
cars, the Boxster and Cayman, with 271 units sold compared to 153 the year
prior, a 77 percent increase.
Porsche`s overall year-to-date sales in 2009 are 15,952 compared to the same
period last year when sales were 22,503, a decrease of 29 percent.
For the month, Porsche`s Approved Certified Pre-Owned vehicle sales were 548,
compared to 389 for the same month last year, a 41 percent increase.
