Toyota and Subaru optimistically targeted 100k units per year worldwide, I suppose your business sense is vastly superior to theirs, you should have rushed to their aid in 2012 to tell them that those numbers are garbage and they never should have made the car with expectations so low.

The only public announcement of worldwide 86 production numbers came from March of '14, where they claim they have already surpassed 100k, that comes in under the 2 year mark.

maybe you need to take a chill pill. or maybe you just enjoy acting like a clown. Sad you cannot have a discussion without saying stupid crap. I have no idea where those numbers came from, I saw them a long time ago. I wouldn't trust estimates from a classic car magazine for a car that came out 30 years ago either though.
I wish they could sell more 86's, I would love them to be able to hit 100,000 sales a year in the US, because that would give them enough to make turbo and other versions of the car. Unfortunately two door cars just don't sell that much. There is a reason nearly every manufacturer from Subaru to VW to Ford is bringing out there non muscle car sporty cars with 4 doors.

The more economical Sports are only now starting to arrive in the US. With the onset of fall across the northern states, convertible sales will slow until spring. That is when we will really be able to look at accurate sales of the new MX-5 in comparison to the older model.
In addition, there is currently no differentiation in the sales numbers between the current NCs and NDs that are being reported on sites such as goodcarbadcar.com.

no idea where anyone is getting the sales numbers. It is really early to gauge much of anything, but Miata enthusiasts are usually crazy fast buying up all the special editions. For the snow states, this is usually the best time to get a rwd car as dealerships usually are willing to make a deal so they are not sitting on the lots the entire winter. Not sure if that would apply for a car as new as the Miata.
