New Cayenne GTS well received by customers in the US and Canada
In March 2008 Porsche held its
ground well in a market environment characterized by recession fears in
the US and Canada. At 2,624, the number of vehicles delivered to
customers was down by 24% on the figure for the previous year. As
before, the second generation of the sport utility Cayenne with its
reduced consumption engines resonated strongly with customers. The most
recent proof of this is the successful market launch of the
particularly sporty Cayenne GTS, 396 units of which were sold on the
North American market in the first month following its launch.
Overall, deliveries of the Cayenne increased by 33 percent to 1,227
in the month under review. The 911 sold 825 vehicles in the US and
Canada in March 2008, down 42 percent from last year. 572 units of the
Boxster model series were delivered to customers, a decline of 49
percent. Within the series, the Cayman and the Cayman S accounted for a
total of 285 units.
