REPORT: CEO says Porsche can sell 150,000 cars per year - it sold just 75,200 last year

Porsche is not a high volume automaker, and it probably never will be. However, Porsche management feels it can do better than its somewhat disappointing 75,200 sales it last year (ending July 2009), but the increase could be larger than most would reasonably expect.
