seriously, why do people not put this into context?

Obviously quoting internet sources here, but I have the benefit of hindsight and 20 years of following various sports cars/coupes on the market.

Acura RSX: 20% YoY drop for 2nd year.

Mitsubishi Lancer (entire line):

Nissan 350/370Z: first year was a mid-model year introduction, hence the sales "jump"

Honda S2000:

I can spend all day quoting various links of sales figures, but the bottom line is a 20% drop YoY for the 2nd year of a niche sports car is OLD NEWS.
