Canadians registered 525 new American muscle cars in September 2013. 197 of those cars were assembled in Canada. Year-to-date sales of the Ford Mustang, Chevrolet Camaro, and Dodge Challenger are down 4%. 

The Ford Mustang's market share in the small segment has grown from 55.8% during the first three quarters of 2012 to 57.6% during the first three quarters of 2013.

Europe's very alternative approach involves six different sports car nameplates: TT, Z4, F-Type, SLK, Boxster, and Cayman. In total, 133 of these cars were sold in September, up from 98 a year ago, before the F-Type and new Cayman were on sale. Audi sold 31 TTs in September 2013; Jaguar sold 31 F-Types. The remaining four nameplates sold less often.


Hyundai Genesis Coupe sales rose 9.5% to 138 units in September 2013. Nissan 370Z sales shot up 175%, but they shot up from a very low 12 units in September 2012. Nissan Canada reported 33 370Z sales in September. For every 370Z sold so far this year, Hyundai has sold nearly four Genesis Coupes. Porsche's comparatively expensive 911 has outsold the 370Z by 139 units through nine months.
