Porsche Reports U.S. Sales for January 2009
|
ATLANTA - February 3, 2009: Porsche Cars North America, Inc. (PCNA), importer and distributor of Porsche sports cars and Cayenne SUVs in the United States, today announced January sales in the U.S. of 1,658 units compared to the same period last year when it sold 2,595 new vehicles, a drop of 36 percent.
The decline in Porsche sales for January is a result of the worsening economy that is particularly impacting sales of luxury items including the German auto maker’s premium sports cars. Apart from the continued adverse consumer sentiment, Porsche is in the midst of an important model changeover with the pending market launch of the new 2009 Boxster and Cayman models next month. Boxster and Cayman sales combined were down 65 percent from the previous year.
Porsche’s high-end SUV range continues to perform strongly with total Cayenne sales of 947, nearly on par with last year’s January figure of 1,008 and 10 percent ahead of the previous month when 860 Cayennes were sold in December of 2008.
For the month of January, Porsche’s Approved Certified Pre-Owned vehicle sales were 563.
