I doubt a car company would publicize exactly how many units they expected to sell in the first year. But back during the reveal, they were telling the auto press that they were losing 35,000 buyers to other brands because they didn't have a midsize SUV offering. Then there was some speculation on this forum that dealers weren't coming down off MSRP (in the first week of sales, no less) because Honda was limiting production. Who really knows what the production and sales targets are?

But since Honda sets the MSRP, it's not like the dealers selling at that price can be held responsible for hurting Honda's sales goals. I think we'll see increased sales throughout the year. The next two months' sales will reveal a lot.
