Early statements claimed targets of 100k/year, which was in hindsight totally never going to happen, even at the time there was heavy skepticism around here they would hit that, a few optimists though. But we're coming up on 90k in the US alone, in May 2014 US had a bit more than 50k of the 100k total, so they're probably at ~170k-190k total units built and likely another 3-5 years of production slated, I'd say they're guaranteed to surpass 200k 86's built unless something cataclysmic happens.
Okay, sorry. I guess I'd just been looking at US figures. Even then, though, I wouldn't have guessed it was that high. The US is a pretty big market an I don't think sales here are even close to 100k over the platform's lifespan.
