At the end of the model year there haven't been stockpiles of them just waiting to sell.

That all lends itself to them having read the market right.
They actually dont advertise this car much if at all lol.
I doubt it has any negative effect on sales since there are not alot of examples. BUt yeah Toyota probably has this segment figured out for the non-miata buyers. They produce just enough, and sell just enough.

Plus im sure anyone who wanted one got one and whoever is left....are probably looking at every vehicular option available (so they were not solely invested on this particular type of car)
