Sporty Car Sales In America - February 2014 YTD

U.S. sales of Detroit muscle cars slid 5% in February 2014 even as Chevrolet Camaro and Ford Mustang volume increased. The Dodge Challenger plunged 25%, a loss of 1217 units, enough to bring the trio down.

Small Euro sports cars jumped 39% thanks to the Jaguar F-Type's 322 sales - the F-Type wasn't on sale at this time last year - and the Porsche Cayman's 35,300% year-over-year increase. The first-generation Cayman was approaching replacement in February 2014. The F-Type and Cayman were the segment's leaders in February. Look for the Audi TT, recently introduced in 2015 form, to shake up the category next year.
