Default Still 1,000 production per year?

Maybe this is a repost but I am asking it anyway.

Does Lex still keeping on their original plan of producing 1,000 units of isF per year?

I remember there were old saying of 1,000 annual world-wide production...
Or, 1,000 units for North America...
Or, 1,000 units world-wide, and euro takes 250 units...

Anyone has any numbers on report?

Thanks!

Their target is about 300-400 per month in the United States. 1,000/yr was an old rumor.

i would say the numbers will be higher than originally estimated. out of my little piddly store we have already gotten 6 of them. supplies should be ok, not near the shortages like the lx570.

Yeah, initially, everyone thought the car was going to be really rare. But they're popping up all over the place now, with some dealerships having two or three on the lot because they can't sell them. There's no way it's only 1,000 units.

Exactly.
I think it is still a rare car. Just like asking how many M3s you see on street in a day.... I guess the more we read from here, the less we feel it is a rare car.

I kind of feel bad that the F produce more than original plan, and hoping no dealer lowball the car.

$70k for a car is not like getting an Altezza years ago.
Or maybe I am getting old and thinking the Camry is a better car.

but i refuse to pay 31k for a loaded camry neither just NO WAY

personally i am glad that cars like is-f, m3, c63, and rs4 they being NOT limited production. just don't over produce them but don't create a shortage. that's only doing good to the companies imho
