I think the sales drop is a little faster than normal.
Here's the Nissan 350Z and 370Z (introduced in 2009)

The only one that remained flat through year 3 was the S2000 and that didn't last very long. Hell the 370Z has sold fewer units altogether than the 350Z sold in 2003+2004 alone. It's foolish to expect anything different here, history repeats itself, especially with RWD Japanese sports cars, this goes all the way back to the 60's with Datsuns and the first Honda S line up through the Z's and RX's.
