Sporty Car Sales Figures In America - July 2013 YTD

By beating the Ford Mustang by 2201 units in July 2013, the Chevrolet Camaro took back its place as the best-selling muscle car in America on year-to-date terms. At the end of June, the Mustang was ahead by 799 units.  One year ago, the Camaro led the Mustang by 628 units. By the end of 2012, Chevrolet had sold 1396 more Camaros than Ford had Mustangs. In July, Jaguar sold 341 of the 917 F-Types registered thus far in the new nameplate's tenure. That was enough to make the F-Type far more popular than the Audi TT or BMW Z4. But Mercedes-Benz SLK sales doubled to 475 units (not quite what the far more costly SL managed) and Porsche Cayman sales shot up 4143% to 594 units. Porsche also sold more Boxsters than Jaguar did F-Types, not to mention 794 copies of the iconic 911. Porsche USA didn't sell 594 Caymans in all of last year.
