BMW 6-Series sales continue to rise far above what BMW managed with their top-end coupe last year. The introduction of a new 6-Series variant certainly helps. BMW's handsome 6-Series Gran Coupe is priced from $76,000. Overall, the 6-Series outsold the Porsche 911 by 100 units in September.

Clearly GoodCarBadCar is not suggesting that the cars in the two 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.
