Porsche Reports U.S. Sales for April 2009

ATLANTA--Porsche Cars North America, Inc. (PCNA), importer and distributor of Porsche sports cars and Cayenne SUVs in the United States, today announced April sales in the U.S. of 1,853 units compared to the same period last year when it sold 2,863.

While the dramatic downturn in the car market continues to impact the entire industry including luxury brands, Porsche’s April results do represent the German car company’s best performance so far in 2009. "It has been heartening to see a continued upward trend over the first four months of this year," said Detlev von Platen, President and CEO of PCNA. "We think that with the economic pressure easing up a bit and consumer confidence coming back the growth in traffic at our dealerships will translate into further sales growth."

So far in 2009, Porsche’s year-to-date U.S. sales are 6,778 versus 9,640 in 2008, a decline of 30 percent.

For the month of April, Porsche’s Approved Certified Pre-Owned vehicle sales were 615, compared to 691 for the same period last year.
