Interesting to note that the Boxster/Cayman is the rarest of the 3 lines.

 

It looks more like 25 ytd, 10 in March. Of course, that doesn't include any MY08 RS sold last year (November, December, etc.).

Those #s look right to me.

 

I'd venture to guess they sell more Cayennes than Bosters in the Winter months, and we'll see that reverse in Spring and Summer? Could be wrong, but I'd guess full year figures are different, at least for the US.
