SEAT to bring €70 mln to Porsche Romania in 2008

The most successful model is the Ibiza, with 1,964 cars sold last year, followed by Cordoba, with 1,364 cars sold, and Leon, with 1,000 units sold.

“We have already settled on locations for two new centers, in Pitesti and Bacau. We believe that by the end of 2012 we will reach an optimum number of 30 units nationwide,” said Bogdan Militaru, Brand Manager of SEAT in Romania.

Some 30 percent of sales are made in Bucharest, but SEAT representatives have witnessed an accentuated increase outside the capital.

Porsche Romania sales grew by 35 percent last year, up to some 59,000 cars, with the value of sales exceeding €1 billion. The company is estimating a 10 percent increase in sales in 2008, up to 65,000 cars.
