My fact check rates this as: FALSE.

The intro year for the C6 has almost the same sales (37,288) as for the C6 entry year (37,372 in 2005).

While there was a drop off (as with all companies from 2008) .. Clearly more time will tell, as we examine sales from 2015 models and further into the future... however the data shows that sales of the corvette are on the rise again... and from a first year perspective.. there is no drop off at all.

The 911 #s you posted show an INCREASE in sales of 911s to 28K in 2012. this figure was only matched or exceeded in 2002,2003, and 2006-2008 (before the crash)... I would like to see the last 2 years of production figures..


edit: I did find this on 2013 figures... http://press.porsche.com/news/release.php?id=839

" The Porsche 911 was especially successful last year: During its anniversary year, around 30,000 of these iconic sports cars were handed over to customers. "

So.. the 911 sales were at the least steady...if not still on the rise in 2013..
