Cayenne Regains Sales Lead, Panamera Continues to Enjoy Strong Results
ATLANTA, Sept. 1 /PRNewswire/ -- Porsche Cars North America, Inc. (PCNA), importer and distributor of Porsche sports cars, Cayenne SUVs and the Panamera Gran Turismo line-up in the United States, today announced August sales in the U.S. of 2,032 units compared to the same period last year when it sold 1,526, up 33 percent.
Most noteworthy for the month were the results for Porsche's new-generation 2011 Cayenne S and Cayenne Turbo, which regained their volume lead by posting sales of 775, compared to last year when sales were 509, an increase of 52 percent. The Cayenne achieved these results despite the fact that the 2011 Cayenne and Cayenne S Hybrid are yet to join Porsche's SUV line-up. Both will come to the U.S. market later this month.
Also notable was the continuing strong performance of Porsche's four-door Panamera Gran Turismo with sales of 627. This new model line for Porsche went on sale last October, and its three eight-cylinder models were joined by two six-cylinder versions last month.
So far in 2010, Porsche's overall year-to-date sales are 15,719 versus last year when they were 12,729, an increase of 23 percent.
For the month, Porsche's Approved Certified Pre-Owned vehicle sales were 609, compared to 567 for the same period last year.

Thx for the numbers 1SICKLEX!! Interesting horserace this past month, along with the monthly volume percentages.
August 2010 sales
BMW 19,540 -1.6%
Lexus 19,465 -14.5%
Mercedes 18,825 +10%
Last year, Lexus had a stronger August for sure, selling 22,892 units, but this month sees Lexus increase its margin over MB further, and wider than at the same point last year. Also Lexus sales from the past 3 months have outperformed last year's. Wonder how well the "Golden Opportunity" sale event did here.

Hyundai
Hyundai Motor America today announced sales of 53,603, down 11 percent compared with the all-time sales record set in August 2009, when the successful "Cash for Clunkers" program was in place.
Still, August marked the third best volume month in company history, saw a 5.3% retail market share -- the highest market share ever achieved -- and delivered the 20th consecutive month of retail market share gains. For the year, Hyundai has reported cumulative sales of 363,491, up 17% versus the same period in 2009, and remains on track to establish an all-time sales record for the full year.
"Even with an erratic stock market, sluggish home sales and faltering consumer confidence over the past several months, Hyundai continues to significantly outperform the industry and gain market share," said Dave Zuchowski, Hyundai Motor America's vice president of national sales. "Consumer demand for our products remains strong, and as we take aggressive action to increase production of high-demand vehicles and improve dealer supply, we feel we're well-positioned for growth over the remaining four months of this year. We're preparing to launch our flagship Equus sedan and are introducing three additional new products to our lineup in the fourth quarter, backed by an ambitious media plan to ensure we maintain our momentum in the face of challenging market conditions."
On a year-over-year basis, Elantra, Sonata and Tucson sales increased 21%, 50% and 139%, respectively. Genesis set another all-time sales record in August and is up 27% for the year - this marks the 14th consecutive month of year-over-year sales gains for Genesis. The strength of this broad product lineup and the overall reduction in incentive spending is continuing to have a positive impact on residual values.
