exactly. it's hard for the s2k to be a best seller when it's production number is significantly less than those of the best sellers listed.

Good point that 7 of the top 15 are 2+2 verts, so it's possible the S2000 is one of the top '2-seat sports cars'.

MB sells a lot ove verts with 3 of the top 12 on the list as well as the number one 2-seat vert on the list the SLK.

MB SL sells 10K units with a price (probably) around $100K per in the US. which makes it one of the most expensive volume produced cars. MB probably sells another 10K-20K SLs around the world (although they do have cheaper V6 entry level SLs in other markets as well as diesels) whear as (I think) the Vette sells paltry numbers outside the US.

Fine with me. Less of them out there, just the way I like it.
The only thing that matters is if you own one.

All of the cars on that list are available with an automatic transmission.

Enlighten the general bumbling idiot driver populous to the wonders of rowing through a teriffic manual gearbox and the S2k will sell more. Until that happens...

they hardly put any advertising into the s2000. how many commercials, magazine ads, billboards, etc. do you see for the s2k?

how many ads do you see for the rest of the cars on that list? exactly.
