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..

I ran into Ed Welburn at an Automotive Hall of Fame event one evening. He's both an inductee and a board member. What we were talking about was the fact that the last (5) Powertrain Portfolio Planning directors, self included, all bought Camaros when they retired from GM. Three of us bought SS. Four of us bought convertibles.
