RWD Sports coupes have always been money-losers (notwithstanding a couple generations of the Mustang/Camaro) in this country...the pattern always plays out the same...wash, rinse, repeat
Year 1: Hype, waiting lists, and great sales
Year 2: Car still selling well
Year 3: Noticeable dive in sales (Sometimes car is refreshed here or in Year 4*): Slight uptick in sales after refresh*
Years 5/6/sometimes 7: Cars sit on lots unless loads of incentives are offered
Afterwards = Model terminated (RX8/S2000)/ renamed /retooled (Eclipse/AWD version) or on hiatus for many years (300ZX to 350z)
