thanks for the info ohryan, it is what i was looking for.

i believe the c-coupé original goal was to sell 20,000 in the first year (US) and it seems to be on track for that goal (but it's close).


i pulled the following info from the sporty group and the luxury group, respectively:

as for the audi, i'm not sure if those are the new models or a combination of the older & newer.

so 8268 since the coupe first went on sale... when is that exactly?

The coupe was first delivered on 8/1. Saw it on 8/3 and bought it the next day. That's over 6 months ago so it doesn't look like it's on track for 20k since sales probably slow down this time of year but they had to ramp up inventory from scratch so who knows.
