What do you guys think about this?

"Porsche have just released sales and financial figures for the first quarter of 2013, and it's pretty much good news across the board.

Sales of every model are up on the same quarter in 2012, with the exception of the Panamera which has dropped from 7,524 sales in Jan-Mar 2012 to 5,669 in the same period this year. This could be explained by the arrival of an updated model, or because Porsche teased us with the Sports Touring concept which is a beauty to the standard Panamera's beast.

Elsewhere the 911 saw a 19% rise in sales from 6,095 to 7,230, the Boxster/Cayman saw a 157% rise from 1,732 to 4,452 and the Cayenne saw a 29% increase from 15,502 to 19,658.

Combined sales of the 911, Boxster, Cayman and Panamera are 17,351 - compared to the Cayenne's 19,658."

Is Boxster/Cayman number right? Seems pretty low. With Macan coming, it will only get better.

 

Doesn't surprise me at all.

The big problem with a 911(cayman/boxter/etc) for many people is that it can't be thier only car for a variety of reasons. It usually has to be a second car of some nature.

Its much harder to justify a second car with a Porsche price tag than a primary car. Especially if you live in a place where parking is a premium.

So more people might be able to afford or stretch to the price of a Cayenne instead of some other SUV choice, but can't stretch for a 911(cayman/Boxter/etc) AND buy and park that other SUV for their daily needs too!

 

Does not surprise me either.
