• Year-to-date numbers beat first eight months of 2017; Macan leads August growth

ATLANTA, Sept. 4, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Porsche Cars North America, Inc. (PCNA), importer and distributor of the Porsche 911, 718 Boxster and Cayman, Panamera, Cayenne, and Macan model lines, today announced August 2018 retail sales of 4,083 vehicles.

More of the common theme, cars sales down, CUV sales up.

August sales reduction though due to new models coming. Wish GM would figure out a way to have less inventory at change over to keep ATP higher on all model brands.
