GM sold over 35,000 2014 Stingrays. That was about the total for 2010 through 2012. There was no 2013 model. The 2014 sales are not the highest in Corvette history, but are in the ballpark of the best years.
The collapse of sports car sales in 2008 was related to the stock market crash and also the attack on successful people, wealth and 1%'ers by the occupy and Obama camps. Folks wanted to take a lower profile, and green became the in thing.
I believe if a sports car is a beast it will sell. BMW does not need an SLK clone. They need an M car with two seats and a real hard top, probably based on the S55, but with a 2 series footprint.
