OAKVILLE, Ontario -

<p>After opening its doors in September, Porsche Centre Oakville has sold more than 62 Porsches.<br />
<br />
To provide a comparison, in September, there were 333 new Porsches sold in all of Canada.</p>

<p>The OEM says this success reaffirms Porsche&rsquo;s growth strategy for Canada.</p>

<p>&quot;Porsche actively seeks ways to stretch boundaries,&quot; said Francesco Policaro, general manager for Porsche Centre Oakville. &quot;We're committed to making our Porsche Centre the most exciting outpost for Porsche this side of the Porsche factory in Zuffenhausen, Germany.&quot;</p>

<p>The new dealership services the western Greater Toronto Area including Oakville, Burlington, Hamilton and surrounding communities.</p>

<p>At a recent ribbon-cutting gala for the dealership, Porsche executives from Canada, North America and the European headquarters made up a portion of the more than 800 guests.</p>

<p>Bernhard Maier, member of the executive board for sales and marketing with Porsche AG in Germany, said, &quot;Canada represents a special market for us. Canada's performance has brought it to the forefront as one of the most dynamic and fastest growing markets. Although I have the opportunity to attend new dealership openings around the globe, the opening of Porsche Centre Oakville feels very special.&quot;</p>

<p>Also on tap for the gala were new and vintage Porsche displays, including a custom 911 by Magnus Walker, owner of the Urban Outlaw Shop in California.</p>

<p>The new Porsche dealership includes a 22-vehicle showroom and a 20-vehicle pre-owned display.<br />
