Compared with January 2012, the Mercedes-Benz SL-Class, Nissan GT-R, and Porsche Boxster posted triple-digit gains. Gains of more than 40% were reported by the BMW Z4, Chevrolet Corvette, and Subaru Impreza WRX.
Declines worse than 20% - in a market which grew 14%, you might recall - were posted by the Audi TT, BMW 1-Series, Infiniti non-sedan G37, Mini's Cooper Coupe, the Nissan 370Z, Volkswagen Eos, Volkswagen Golf GTI, Volvo C70, Audi R8, Jaguar XK, and Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG. Because of their low-volume nature, many of these models are prone to fluctuation.GoodCarBadCar recently made these sporty car sales tables sortable.

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.
