2006 - 24,635
2009 - 13,117
2010 - 10,215
2011 - (sales so far are LOWER than 2010)

From a market perspective, it's clearly a bad idea to pursue the 370Z. "Econobox sales" (aka Civic) meanwhile have been very strong in the past 5 years. So the reverse is true. Econoboxes are here to stay, people are moving away from high-performance machines.

Sales have dropped because the straight line performance has become a joke compared to its competitors like the mustang.
