Porsche Macan Allocation to Increase for U.S.
Porsche is working to satisfy demand in the U.S. for its new Macan crossover.
Since the Macan went on sale in the U.S. last May, wait times have been six months or more for U.S. buyers and the German automaker is now working on allocating more units for U.S. dealers this year. Though Porsche won’t estimate the number of Macans that will be allocated to the U.S. this year, the company sold 7,241 units during the seven months it was on sale last year.
