Porsche Sales Slump?!?!?!

Is Porsche in a sales slump???

They will not be building a 2007 Cayenne; the Cayenne has been in a 2 year slide. They'll keep building the 2006 model as necessary and will produce a new 2008 version.

The Boxster is an old design, coming out in 1997. It was freshened in 2003 and 2005. Porsche saw a slight rise in Boxster sales for 2005 due to the freshing, but sales are again down for the year.

The 911 has been around since 1965. A new, much better and freshened model came out in 2005. It brought sales up last year, but sales for this year are down already.

The Cayman is up, of course, but the model was just released last year. I suspect the Cayman is really carrying the Porsche name right now, IMHO. But, I don't hear much buzz about the Cayman, either.

Production of the Carrera GT has stopped; nothing to sell there.

The Panamera isn't out yet, and I don't hear a lot of buzz, but release time isn't close. Are all those Porsche resources working on the Panamera, or something else???

Porsche sold their engineering division in Detroit earlier this year.

Gas prices are high, but do owners of a Porsche really care much about gas prices?

Sales are down, what's Porsche really up to???
