Not one fun car about those "sporty" ones mentioned (except for the overpriced RX-8). No wonder they're not doing too well.

G6 Coup, Accord Coup, Altima Coup, Charger, etc. Isn't the BMW 3 series coup a midsize sporty coup? If you are going to talk about sales of such cars, should you include all models that are sold? Does it have to be a "coup" to be a midsize “sporty
