    Sebring convertible sales are actually UP from last year? W.C. Fields was right.

    VW Eos outsold the Miata this year and last... That's surprising.

      It's never surprised me. They've always been on the wrong side of the performance/comfort continuum for most Americans.

    The abysmal sales of the Miata are an indictment of the American driving public. I mean seriously, how many Avengers, Calibers and Nitros did people buy last month? OK, if you truly need a backseat regularly get a Mazda3, or even a 6, but a Sebring? Really? Come on!

      Maybe the Miata customer already has one and will never replace it. That could describe me, I have a Miata I bought new in 1996. I still see a lot of the NA Miatas on the road. I toyed with buying a hardtop Miata a year or so ago but couldn't justify paying that much to replace my long paid off fun car that is still fun and rock solid so instead I put a new soft top (tan, looks so much better than the stock black on my Montego blue car) and stereo system in mine and called it new.

    Its interesting to categorize the nameplate in accordance with sticker... The Camaro / Stang are newest.. with the Challenger in a distant 3rd (as Id thought.) The rest are much higher price points.. and or older cars Beetle is ancient RX8 is going away XLR I thought was gone Eclipse had its fun 10yrs ago tC needs a redo.. BADLY Sebring should be beaten.. prob selling for a sweet - cheap song. Miata is diff class.. But basicially old news. Camaro / Mustang are the new toys.. to be trade in a yr or two off lease for the next new thing. . . Sky is blue.. air is clear. Old news.
