They wanted to build 100k a year:

I don't think they hit that (It took nearly 2 years for the first 100k) and given current numbers and history of Japanese sports cars they never will. It's done well but I don't think it met optimistic expectations, it probably exceeded minimum expectations, but doesn't exactly bode well for long term viability of the small lightweight sports car market.
