I'm not sure what type of sales targets they had in mind...
but the S2000 for instance never had sales of 10,000 in a single year here in the states. Judging by the fact that they sold 18,000 of the FR-S in the US last year ... I'd say it's here to stay for some time yet.
Not enough sales to justify a variant ... but enough sales to justify the platform.
I guess I just hope that this doesn't deter other automakers from dropping their sporty car plans.
...and the Mustang is HUGE!!!!!!!
