You missed my point. Show the V8 only volumes please.

And every year you have on your list, the Camaro was the hatchback. For a lot of people, the simple ergonomics of that car were not very good. Your opinion is that the Camaro was the better coupe and I won't argue that, but sales volumes said otherwise. It was the known problem within GM that the performance versions of the Fbody sold decent right up to the last few years. But the base car pretty much left you wanting and sales told that story. And as they say, the rest is history. It might even be the reason GM is against bringing hatchbacks to our market.
