I wish they could sell more 86's, I would love them to be able to hit 100,000 sales a year in the US, because that would give them enough to make turbo and other versions of the car. Unfortunately two door cars just don't sell that much. There is a reason nearly every manufacturer from Subaru to VW to Ford is bringing out there non muscle car sporty cars with 4 doors.



no idea where anyone is getting the sales numbers. It is really early to gauge much of anything, but Miata enthusiasts are usually crazy fast buying up all the special editions. For the snow states, this is usually the best time to get a rwd car as dealerships usually are willing to make a deal so they are not sitting on the lots the entire winter. Not sure if that would apply for a car as new as the Miata.

Quoted in it's entirety for posterity. First post I responded to below for context.

Our economy sucks. We have a stock market that is making record highs by having some of the fewest number of trades ever. That is not good. We have more people not working now than since the Great Depression, we have a government that has more unemployment numbers then ever before. We have more government debt than in the known history of planet earth.

Yes everyone on this one forum owns a two door. How many have Toyota and Subaru sold combined so far? I guarantee Toyota sold more MK2 Supras in 1982 alone than both companies have sold 86/FRS/BRZ's in all years so far.

Or maybe you need to read a few post above mine when people are noting the new ND is barely beating sales of the NC, I guess a car everyone hated for some reason. Or maybe you need to go into sales data and see there is a reason why Subaru/Mitsubishi/Ford/etc are making all their sporting cars with 4 doors. Maybe it could be because almost no one is buying 2 door cars nowadays? Or maybe note that Porsche, Lamborghini,Maserati, et all are coming out with 4 door cars and SUV's because their mainline sporting 2 doors aren't selling as much as they would like.


Wow you are so brilliant, or did you mother have to give you that line?
