[Porsche](<https://www.thedrive.com/article/12884/porsche-is-the-most-appealing-car-brand-j-d-power-says>) just wrapped up another all-around great year. The German premium brand just finished 2017 by hitting an all-time [sales record](<https://www.thedrive.com/porsche/16724/porsche-posts-new-all-time-monthly-u-s-sales-record-in-november>) in the U.S. after selling a total of 55,420 vehicles, marking a 2.1 percent increase over 2016 sales. This adds to a long and consistent streak of best years ever for the brand in the States.

"Demand for four-door and two-door Porsche sports cars allowed PCNA \[Porsche Cars North America\] to achieve another annual record in 2017, making it the eighth consecutive year of increased sales," said Klaus Zellmer, President and CEO of PCNA in a release. "The Macan and Panamera model lines posted double-digit growth, and we can expect an additional boost with the arrival of our all-new Cayenne in the second half of the year."

Indeed, the [Macan](<https://thestore.thedrive.com/>) and the [Panamera](<https://thestore.thedrive.com/>) were largely responsible for the brand’s growth with the [Macan](<https://www.thedrive.com/article/17227/porsche-unveils-five-macans-with-classic-racing-liveries>) continuing as the best selling [Porsche](<https://www.thedrive.com/article/17155/three-years-after-buying-car-tesla-and-porsche-owners-happiest>) in the U.S., now by an even wider margin. The [911](<https://thestore.thedrive.com/>) saw a small jump in sales as well, likely thanks to the multiple special editions of the iconic sports car that came out in 2017.

The 718 and the [Cayenne](<https://thestore.thedrive.com/>), however, took a bit of a hit. The [Boxster](<https://thestore.thedrive.com/>)/[Cayman](<https://thestore.thedrive.com/>) sold over 1,000 fewer units in 2017 versus 2016 and the Cayenne saw a decrease of over 2,000 units. The slower sales for the Cayenne could be credited to anticipation for the [new model](<https://www.thedrive.com/new-cars/13905/2019-porsche-cayenne-revealed-packing-plenty-of-change-beneath-the-skin>) coming out this year, but it’s hard to explain the slump of the Boxster and Cayman which are supposed to be the brand’s more affordable, entry-level sports cars.

Porsche didn’t only have a good year for new cars. Porsche Approved Certified Pre-Owned cars saw a 12.5 percent jump in 2017 with a total of 19,104 units delivered. Porsche is one of our favorite brands to root for and we hope to see it continue its sales streak for many years to come.
