Crossovers: Can't live with them, can't live without them.
We already knew Porsche had itself a banner year
in the United States in 2017, but the newly-released global sales
numbers paint a more detailed picture about what's powering the P-Car
expansion. And what do you know: It's all about small crossover SUVs,
with the Porsche Macan accounting for almost 40 percent of the company's worldwide sales and outselling the iconic 911 sports car by a 3-to-1 ratio.
They say nothing in certain in life except for death and taxes, but whoever writes those idioms may want to consider adding the world's ceaseless appetite for soft-roading crossovers to the list. Of the 246,375 vehicles sold by Porsche around the globe in 2017, a full 97,000 of them were Macans, an increase of 19 percent compared to the previous year. In comparison, the Porsche 911 line sold just over 32,000 units worldwide.
