The difference is how they are sold, and how quickly. For the 86, they have had to spend little on advertising, and very few promotional incentives. Most are sold within spitting distance of MSRP (I'm sure there are exceptions which will come out of the woodwork now in an attempt to prove me wrong).

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.
