For the year so far, PCNA has delivered 6,163 vehicles versus 4,699 during the same period last year, also an increase of 31 percent.

Cayenne sales were particularly strong, posting an increase of 79 percent to 1,173 units, up from 657 in February 2012. Demand for the new Boxster also continues to be significant, which contributed to sales of 391 units, a tenfold increase from the same period last year.
