One thing to keep in mind though is that the RX-8 sold about 24,000 cars in its first full calendar year. Wonder if the Twins will follow a similar sales track.
A: First "full" year. So not calendar year but first 12 month period right?

B: Any data to suggest that production output vs demand had any effect on units sold in estimated 12 month period?

C: RX-8 (2003) did not go on sale with $4/gallon fuel and in the midst of a massive recession. Although 2003 wasn't exactly an economic boom year either.
