So the Bloomberg article is...crap ? 
I'm actually very surprised to see that car sales in Spain have increased substantially in 2011 and not only luxury cars. Weird. Do people fear a EUR crash (so they need to get rid of their "cash" ? 
) or what is the real reason for that ? Unemployment rate in Spain is still 4x (!) higher than in Germany for example, in certain (younger) age categories even higher. Just asking...

Re: Very interesting (and sad) "Cayenne in Spain" article
Cars sales are falling down in Spain, in its lowest level since 1993.
2005: 1.528.849 cars
2006: 1.499.032 cars
2007: 1.615.201 cars
2008: 1.161.176 cars
2009: 952.722 cars
2010: 982.015 cars
2011: below 900.000 cars
I'm just saying, that Cayenne is not a good example, because it is selling very well nowadays

Mikla:
There are still many wealthy people in Spain who buy Cayennes. The article refers to those new rich who bought them as a social sign, but when the crisis arose they could no longer afford them.
Now this makes more sense.
