Porsche Makes Its Mark In the Great White North

Meet the new President and CEO of Porsche Canada, who plans to deliver excellence and flexibility without compromise.

Marc Ouayoun has many reasons to be optimistic about the state of Porsche in Canada. Porsche has seen a very strong showing in the Canadian marketplace, with sales continuing to rise. Ouayoun told The Epoch Times that the future is looking bright for the luxury car brand: “Given the current vehicle lineup and the strong and evolving dealer network across the country, there is every reason to be optimistic. The potential for continued growth is there.�

Ouayoun has been working with Porsche since 2006. He was initially responsible for sales and development of the dealer network for Porsche France SA. He later was appointed managing director in 2011. But Ouayoun was ready to take on a new challenge and moved to Toronto, Canada for his new position as President and CEO of Porsche Canada. He brings with him an eager commitment and fervor for the flat six.

His optimism is justified by Porsche’s sales in Canada. Porsche Canada has seen impressive growth in sales over the past 72 months: 8,249 cars were sold in 2017 compared to 3,003 sold in 2012. Overall sales for PorscheCanada rose 16.8 percent from just 2016. Not bad, eh?

And Ouayoun doesn’t see this slowing down anytime soon. “When we look at new product coming down the pipe; engineering innovation and fluid design notwithstanding, Porsche will continue to deliver everything that our loyal customers have come to expect. Porsche will continue to offer flexibility–without compromise. The future promises to be a time of great excitement for us.â€�
