Porsche is very lucky it's building this car - Business Insider
So far this year, Porsche has sold just under of 30,000 cars in the US. That's an improvement of 10% compared to the same time last year. Porsche's growth can be attributed to just one car: the Macan. In fact, sales of every single Porsche model fell in July, with the sole exception being the Macan. The Macan is the right car at the right time for the current US market, which surged past an annual sales pace for new vehicles of 17 million in July. And Porsche has in the Macan rolled out a very successful crossover SUV, replicating the success of the Cayenne. Porsche is also well on its way to beating its 2018 global sales goal of 200,000 cars — a few years early. The VW Group brand sold 189,000 cars worldwide in 2014. . In spite of the company's recent growth, Porsche won't be leaving the realm of niche luxury performance brand anytime soon. As nice as 200,000 cars sold a year may sound, General Motors sold more than 272,000 vehicles in the US in the month of July alone. Source: www.businessinsider.com
