Porsche Cuts Canadian Prices

Price cuts are always good for consumers. Lately, a lot of incentives have been thrown around in the marketplace in the form of low financing and rebates.

Toyota in particular has been racheting them up, along with a big advertising campaign, in a bid to increase sales in the face of the unintended acceleration controversy.

Price cuts are a different thing though, and they are coming to a brand that usually (make that never) sees them -Porsche. Let's just just call it a stimulus for the rich. The strength of the Canadian dollar has led Porsche to reduce prices on it's lineup in the country - by about two percent overall.

The Porsche Boxster  now comes in at $55,600 ($55,467 U.S.) vs. $59,600 ($59,457 U.S.), and the Cayenne at $54,200 ($54,070 U.S.), compared to $45,500 in the United States.

Porsche Canada was quick to point out that cars sold in the country have a bit more standard equipment, saying some have features like heated seats, auto-dimming mirrors and rain-sensing wipers that U.S models don't.
