That trend looks to continue with the new version of the &#8216;ute that <a href=\"http:\/\/autoblog.com\/make\/porsche\">Porsche<\/a> just began assembling at its Leipzig plant in Germany as company CEO Michael Macht indicates that orders for the new Cayenne are &#8220;clearly exceeding&#8221; expectations.<\/p>\n<p>The news couldn&#8217;t come at a better time for Porsche, which reportedly saw its sales decline an alarming 40 percent in the first quarter of the year. The previous-generation Cayenne, which is Porsche&#8217;s best-selling vehicle, had seen its sales figures reduced by about 25 percent over the fiscal year that ended last July.<\/p>\n<p>Porsche is banking on updated styling, improved performance and reduced emissions &#8211; an effort that is spearheaded by the automaker&#8217;s first-ever production hybrid model &#8211; to stop the sales skid of its Cayenne nameplate. Moreover, the new Cayenne and <a href=\"http:\/\/autoblog.com\/model\/panamera\">Panamera<\/a> sedan are seen as the main ingredients to put Porsche back on an upward sales trajectory.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"postgallery\">\n<p><strong>Gallery: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/2011-porsche-cayenne\/low\/\">2011 Porsche Cayenne<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/2011-porsche-cayenne\/low\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.autoblog.com\/media\/2010\/02\/2011porschecayenneofficial000_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/2011-porsche-cayenne\/low\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.autoblog.com\/media\/2010\/02\/2011porschecayenneofficial001_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/2011-porsche-cayenne\/low\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.autoblog.com\/media\/2010\/02\/2011porschecayenneofficial002_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/2011-porsche-cayenne\/low\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.autoblog.com\/media\/2010\/02\/2011porschecayenneofficial004_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/2011-porsche-cayenne\/low\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.autoblog.com\/media\/2010\/02\/2011porschecayenneofficial003_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p>\n[Source: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.businessweek.com\/news\/2010-04-14\/porsche-new-cayenne-suv-orders-beat-expectations-macht-says.html\">BusinessWeek<\/a>]<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/2010\/04\/14\/porsche-ceo-says-new-cayenne-orders-clearly-exceeding-expectat\/\">Porsche CEO says new Cayenne orders &#8220;clearly exceeding&#8221; expectations<\/a> originally appeared on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\">Autoblog<\/a> on Wed, 14 Apr 2010 15:59:00 EST.
