911 of course includes coupes and roadsters, and my hunch would be more coupes than convertibles.
if that assumption is right then the SL is # 1 convertible in Germany.

The question is if these are end user / customer sales, or sales into the channel (where many cars are still looking for a customer, see other thread)?

I think that is right - and they actually call the statistic “ new car registration “

Living in Europe, I can tell you we have a vastly different view of the Mustang than you do.
We are kind of stuck in the times where those were very expensive and rare on our roads because of low import. Even nowadays, most people will be more impressed by the Mustang than many other brands, it has kind of a "status symbol".
For the AMG GT, I'm not that surprised, it's getting quite old imo so it's at the end of the descending curve. I wonder when we'll see the next high end sport flagship from Mercedes.

Fair enough, well, do you think the new AMG GT might replace SL in terms of sales? I am guessing the SL did well part of the many reasons being the AMG GT is "getting old" and people want to have a "taste" of the next AMG GT and got the SL, plus they want the newest tech?
