Vette production from Corvette Action Center:
2003..... 35,469
2004..... 34,064
2005..... 37,372
2006..... 34,021
2007..... 40,561
2008..... 35,310
2009..... 16,959
2010..... 12,194
I don't know the accuracy of these numbers but it's clear production for all sports cars has been in decline. Adding a few interior bits isn't going to suddenly increase new Z sales...

Looks like we had the same numbers on the 350Z production. As sad as it is to say, I think the only thing that would boost Z sales in this day and age is 2 more seats and a whole lot of interior repackaging. As has been said many times before though, it does make the Z a lot more rare (exclusivity implies some restriction on entry), and does add some appeal to me personally in that regard. I'd also be curious to see Miata and Z4 sales in comparison, I looked around a little but nothing turned up.
