it was only its second MY... 01 was somewhere around the 125 mark of most car sold.. now its down to 15 or so...

 

How long has the Pilot been on sale? Its seems so new to have sold that many already.

 

Since summer.

 

That's cuz we're on the east coast. Imports are sold in much higher percentages here than the mid and southern parts of the country. We must be smarter than those other folks, huh?

Funny that Lexus sold more SC430s than Mazda sold Miatas. Or not.

 

wow, everything i ever wanted to know and also, never cared about The best-selling convertibles of 2002...lol, j/k

i can't believe they sold that many ford thunderbirds also that many mercedes SL, lotta deep pockets

 

wow.. we didnt rly sell any sebring conv't lol.. thas utah for ya

 

The top 4 on that list are very popular rental fleet cars, so it's not surprising, escpecially the sebring. I'd say maybe cut all those numbers in half for the real stats.

 

Sebring is a good convertible for under 30k regardless, IMO.

 

it rly is.. very roomy in the rear with awesome trunk space.. rly good tourer
