    Porsche pleased with Panamera orders

    http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/article/ALeqM5iNjJGWxjiTCqmKAK5cgn1GM19w7AD98IM1CO3

    20.000 units p.a. feasible (they say).

    Re: Porsche pleased with Panamera orders

    but the interesting thing is that is NOT what Porsche's PR on their wesite says!

    Here is the actual quote:

    "For its market introduction on September 12 in Germany, the Gran Turismo will initially be launched in 3 variations that will be equipped with a 400-hp V8 induction engine or with a V8 biturbo engine with 500 hp. Porsche is planning to sell an average of around 20,000 units of the Panamera over the entire lifecycle."

     


    Re: Porsche pleased with Panamera orders

     

    The official comment has always been: 20,000 units per year on average over the life cycle.

    Bottom line: Less than 20k in FY 09/10, more at the peak with all versions (V6, V8, TT, Hybrid, ...) available and far less after 7 years ...

    I still don't see who will buy this car. You don't drive children around like an F1 driver, so the performance is useless. All other high-end sedans look much better.

    I only see novelty and and maybe viral marketing helping. IOW some alpha celeb/cultural figure owning one and starting a trend.

    Maybe they have all been bought by hedge fund traders

    In traditional Europe and USA sales are expected to be normal IMO.

    But I expect the car to  be very popular in eastern europe and Russia in particular, and in Asia. It will open up a whole new market for Porsche there.

     Just heard that porsche as cancelled there lease program in the U S they have run out of Money watch sales drop like a ton of  bricks

    The Panamea will become a great success.

    Guys - we are ahead of the next bull phase, big cars will be fashy again from next year on. The Pan will be the car to have, wait and see! Even myself, I still struggle with the rear view, but overall the car is great. And if Walter Röhrls words are true and the car really behaves like a 911 it is a no brainer getting one!


    Re: Porsche pleased with Panamera orders

    I' am pleased for VW Porsche that people order a car that is in direct design competition with the late Ford Scorpio...
