Dealer Spies let this little gem of a document leak out...
"Late 2010 and 2011 will be a very exciting year with Audi and Porsche. Porsche has growth plans to 150,000 cars worldwide by 2014. The US gets around 30%. They will end their fiscal year on July 31 and will have a 2010 Short fiscal year through December 31 the switch to 2011 year to match the calendar year. This does not affect the model years of years but will make their annual plans match the calendar years going forward. They will be "out of the incentive business" and into the inventory control business working on a strict supply and demand model. This makes our sales performance critical since the supply of cars will be short and controlled. They plan for 11,294 US sales August through Dec and 25,000 CY 2011. FY 2010 should be around 22,000 cars for the US.
