Boxster/Cayman Sales down 50%.

February sales numbers just came out and 997 numbers YTD are down about 20% and Boxster/Cayman sales are down 50%. I'm kind of shocked by the 50% drop and was wondering if this was news to you all or was expected. Is there a new update just around the corner that's keeping potential Boxster/Cayman buyers on the sidelines? Anything else that I didn't hear about?

Exactly,

Not surising at all. Porsche even stopped Cayman production for like two months. You cannot sell what you do not have on the lot.

The sales number will increase come April Sales month as that'll be the first full month of Boxster Spyder sales.

No surprise to me. Porsche was VERY aggressive clearing the lots of leftover 2008 and 2009's with massive price slashing and 1.9 % financing. Essentially everyone that wanted one - got one. The market segment for high dollar new sports cars is not that large to begin with and now that the old stock is gone, demand for 2010's is bound to be soft.
