Best Selling Sports Cars of 2010

As 2011 closely approaches, we look back to see which were the top selling sports cars in 2010. We reminisce on those vehicles that were the fastest, most powerful, and most expensive. Here is a list for the 10 best selling sports cars of August 2010.

 

10) Mitsubishi Eclipse. The Mitsubishi Eclipse is a sporty two door, four-seat coupe with good looks and a roomy interior. With 293 sales and its low MSRP of $18,999 - $29,089, it's not hard to see why the Eclipse has made it to the 10 best-selling cars of 2010.

 

9) Mazda Miata. The MX-5 Miata had a whopping 547 sales and had MSRP of $22,960 - $28,400. Not shocking—considering that the Miata is a convertible sports car that is sleek, capable, well-engineered, delightful, and fun.

 

Porsche Panamera. The Porsche Panamera is an all-new model to the Porsche family, bringing sports car performance and untraditional styling to the full-size premium class.

 

7) Honda CRZ. New for 2011, the Honda CR-Z looks to combine the fuel-efficiency of a hybrid with the driving experience of a sports car.

 

6) Nissan 370Z. Designed with performance, style and value in mind; it's a pure sports car in every respect.

 

5) Chevrolet Corvette. The Chevrolet Corvette is the best high-performance value in America. The Corvette delivers supercar performance for the price of a midsize luxury sedan.

 

4) BMW Z4. The BMW Z4 has the classic two-seat roadster look, but features a modern two-piece power retractable hardtop. The result is an elegant looking car that blends the sportiness of a coupe with the enjoyment of a convertible.

 

3) Dodge Challenger. The Challenger features the fuel efficiency, safety, handling, technology and quality expected in a contemporary coupe. In August it had 3,283 sales with an MSRP of $23,245 - $41,230

 

2) Ford Mustang. Today's Mustang still delivers the bold styling, rear-drive performance and affordability that have been Mustang hallmarks for decades. It had 5,570 sales and an MSRP of $22,145 - $37,845.

 

1) Chevrolet Camaro. With design cues evocative of the legendary 1969 model, the 2011 Chevrolet Camaro combines the spirit of the classic American muscle car with the fuel efficiency, safety, handling, technology and build quality expected in a modern performance coupe. It had a whopping 6,321 sales with an MSRP of $22,680 - $34,295.

Corvette: The Great American Sports Car $16.99 The King of Cool It seems impossible. At one time, the Corvette was the car that almost nobody wanted. When it first surfaced for the 1953 model year, the cars were rough-riding, underpowered, and lacking in the "fit" and "finish" that buyers of refined roadsters would normally expect. Through six generations and major makeovers, Chevy's European-inspired rocket has outperformed and outlasted the competition. There is no other car that enjoys such a rabid fan following, and no car is more instantly recognizable, regardless of the year. In Corvette: The Great American Sports Car, accomplished automotive author John Gunnell provides a year-by-year examination of the Corvette's evolution. With more than 225 photos and fact-filled biographies of every production Corvette ever built, Corvette: The Great American Sports Car is a handy, colorful, authoritative reference sure to appeal to any Corvette lover.
