With all the Z sales skyrocketing above the rest of the sport models available, it's no wonder that the exasperating appeal of the Z is slowly waning... at least around my area.
Nice read, Rat.

somewhat misleading... I know atleast the S2000 is a limited production, its low sales arent a fair representation of demand IMO, as they are marked up in many areas even though they are 4 years old. honda chooses not to sell more than that.

In the grand scheme of things, that table is a bit deceptive. For some reason, he left out the Mustang. Ford sold 140,350 of those in 03 and 138,356 of them in 02! That decimates all the cars in that table.
Also, in the grand scheme of things, 36K cars in a year is not much. Nissan + Infiniti in the US sold 794K cars in the US in that time. The top selling vehicle in the US for 03 was the Ford F-series pickup which sold 845K! The best selling car for 03 was the Toyota Camry which sold 413K!

(ugh! can't edit!)
Also, for context: GM sold 4.7 MILLION vehicles in the US in 03.

well when only including 2seater sports cars, of course the numbers arent going to match truck and sedan sales, they are not for everyone. the mustang should be included though. most were the V6, like 85% of them I beleive.
