Demand for the MR2 Spyder was probably higher than it will be for the GTR. Remeber that the MR2 Spyder was a mid-engine roadster for around $22k. And they only made around 5,000 of them the first year. It took me 6 months of waiting to get one in the color I wanted, and that was in year #2 of production.
The GTR is much more expensive and much much fewer people can afford it. The demand will dry up much quicker than you think. 12,000 cars per year for a $70k sports car is not "low production". By comparison, Audi is producing only 3,000 R8's per year. In 1991, Acura produced fewer than 5,000 NSX's, and the wait list on that one was gone by year #2. By next winter we will be seeing the GTR selling at MSRP, and by Summer 2009, there will be discounts.
