According to PCNA's President and CEO Detlev von Platen, 2011 signifies "a very positive step forward" for Porsche as well as demonstrates the brand's continued strength in the U.S. market. He further said that they are "confident" that they will build on this momentum moving forward into 2012 with the launch of a new Boxster, the 7th generation 911 and other new products.

A great portion of Porsche's success in its sales last year can be credited to the continuing momentum of the Cayenne SUV, the U.S. sales of which reached 12,978 units last year from 8,343 units in 2010 -- a 56 percent rise.
