Auto Spies Exclusive: Porsche quietly suspends 2003 sports car production
We tell you why
From one of our Porsche dealer spies:
So how do you "hide the hat" when sales slow to a crawl on your sports cars?
Sales of 911's and Boxsters have been weak (due to the economy and customer apathy to the minimal changes done to the cars over the past few years).
Rather than hurt the market for customers and dealers, Porsche has decided to end production (they are not going public with this info) of all 2003 sports cars.
The logic is they will make up the sales decline in Cayenne sales.
If you go to a dealer to place an order, you will be informed that they are only taking orders on 2004's and they should be showing up, in the October 2003 timeframe.
