Selling over 1,000 911s in 1 month is insane.
The average cost is about $125-150k for standard models with basic options - not to mention this is really a 2 seater weekend type car.
Just speaks to the amazing brand value of Porsche and 911being the best all around sports car.

small sedans way off, but big sedans up, r8 WAY up, so probably profits up too.
maybe it's model year switchover availability too.

I thought I read that Audi had some sort of supply/inventory issue while they worked past some sort of regulatory (or other?) issue, which has recently been resolved. Anyone else hear of this? I swear I read it but now I can't find it. If true, that could explain their numbers.

The 2019 A4's have been delayed also. I was told they may not be available until January. I suspect that is why the A4 sales dropped off so much in November.

Problem with Corvettes, Mustangs and rest of American cars is the crap fit and finish.
Interior material quality while improved is still unacceptable overall. The gauges on the Corvette look like they are lifted from a 90s Malibu.
Personally im looking to get a V8 manual to replace my BRZ.
I love the GT350 but things like misaligned body panels, loose plastic trim, paint chipping, interior rattles are making me hesitant. Same for Corvette.
911 is over engineered in almost every way.
The 991.2 cars are close to perfect and the new 992 is even more impressive.

rnm said brand value not just dollars for features. if you show up some place in a corvette it 'says' one thing to most people. if you show up in a porsche, quite another thing. you and i don't care much about branding and image, but most do.
