Sporty Car Sales In America - March 2017





2017 Fiat 124 Spider black
March 2017 was the best month of U.S. sales in the history of the fourth-generation (ND) Mazda MX-5 Miata.

Year-over-year, MX-5 sales jumped 23% to 1345 units, a pre-summer boost bolstered by increasing availability of the retractable hardtop MX-5 Miata RF. It was the best March for the MX-5 since 2008.

But sales of the MX-5 actually increased at an even greater rate, if you factor in the number of Mazdas sold in another showroom.

Styled differently and operating with a different powerplant, the Fiat 124 Spider is essentially a Mazda MX-5 Miata. With 419 sales, March 2017 sales of the 124 Spider – on sale since last June – rose to a five-month high.

Combined, the duo produced 1764 sales in March 2017, a 62% year-over-year improvement.

^ BMW USA, not GoodCarBadCar, has chosen to combine sales figures of the 1-Series and 2-Series.
Clearly GoodCarBadCar is not suggesting that the cars in the tables above are all direct competitors. Establishing categories among cars as unique as even the Audi TT and Porsche Boxster has never pleased a single reader, so cars have been lumped together so you can simply see how buyers looking for sports cars, roadsters, hot hatches, convertibles, GTs, and wanna-be sports cars spend their money. Greater categorization of cars would only lead to problems that automakers create by not isolating model-specific sales figures: we don't know how many M3s BMW has sold or how many Civics are Si models, for example. The numbers we do have are listed above. The BMW 6-Series has been removed from the premium list because we don't use this space as a showcase for sedans (unless automakers release data for high-end sporting models like the Lexus ISF, as Toyota Canada does) and the 6-Series lineup now relies heavily on a sedan variant. GoodCarBadCar is always open to hearing about the ways you would break down segments, so feel free to get in touch. You can always find the sales results for EVERY vehicle and form your own competitive sets by using the All Vehicle Rankings posts. Sales data for brands such as Aston Martin, Ferrari, Lamborghini, Lotus, Rolls-Royce etc. are unfortunately not broken down by model. ANDC estimates say sales for Aston Martin and Lotus in the first three months of 2017 were 171 and 9, respectively. Figures through the first three months of 2017 for Bentley, Ferrari, Lamborghini, and Rolls-Royce were 552, 732, 229, and 359, respectively.
