The economy isn’t monolithic. For the Corvette demographic things have never been better. The Camaro demographic, the middle class, is shrinking and can no longer afford sports cars.

Agreed... As a boomer I can attest to the jump in Camaro/Corvette sales as the retiree numbers age out and grow.. And most older generations have a connection to the car culture of days past....Around here the younger generations have completely shifted to the truck as the new cool/modification factor...And the ones that have Camaros are trying hard to drive them year round{Camaro/Challenger/Mustang are the first contestants to be seen along the road in a winter storm here as it's always been}..
Including all the pandemic and education factors it was a generally rough time in sports car sales ...Nothing like buying a new Camaro then being FORCED not to work during the pandemic...lol... It all adds up to the diminished interest from the newer generations..
