American car buyers are always hoping for their own production of two-seater sports cars. But when they are actually able to buy one, they are so hesitant that the manufacturers are forced to remove it from the range after three years - just think of the Kaiser-Darrin or the Nash-Healey. Only a large and wealthy company like General Motors could afford to continue building a car like the Corvette after it too had sold very poorly for the first three years.
