Porsche Cars North America (PCNA) announced that it will lower prices by more than 10 percent on its 2008 models. This is great news for fans of the German brand across Canada.
According to the President and Chief Executive Officer of PCNA, Peter Schwarzenbauer, this decision is further proof that Porsche listens carefully to its customers and dealers.
That said, the rise of the Canadian dollar, which is now worth the same as the U.S. dollar, gives Canadian consumers an excellent reason to go shopping South of the border, where vehicles are usually 10-30 percent cheaper than over here.
Porsche will thus lower the MSRP of its 2008 models by an average of more than 8 percent. Additionally, on an average equipment adjusted basis, the 2008 models will offer another 2 percent in savings from 2007 models.
