If you don't care about the look but you value back seats, trunk space, headroom, gas mileage then you buy a Honda Accord and the rest of the appliance based vehicles on the road that have no passion.

It is all about compromises, the Dodge Challenger has better visibility, big back seat and a big trunk but look at its sales. Many performance car buyers feel it is too big and too heavy to meet the sports car criteria. With the Corvette you lose the backseat as altogether and you have to roll yourself in and out of it and it costs a bit more as well.

So, that really leaves the Mustang, BMW M4 and some high end Audis. For me, when you compare the new Camaro with all its flaws to all the other 2 door cars in its class, it is a winner. I sacrifice some visibility and trunk space and get awesome performance, mag ride, incredible sound and all the latest tech.

The reason these cars don't sell like we want them to is because people value practicality over performance and looks nowadays. There are fewer passionate car people that will make the sacrifices you needs to make to drive these cars. That is why Honda sells like 400,000 Civics and Accords per year.

But what you leave out is with the sale of the Challenger, if it does not quite fit the family's needs they buy a Charger, Muscle with size they sell 9000 a month with those. When the family changes, back to the Challenger. Get the same performance with multiple sizes.
