POOR SALES??? Should this be a surprise???
It appears that sales have slowed right up after the US dealers received their compulsory stock allocations.
Have a read of this interesting report, particularly the comments left at the bottom of the article, it seems a third pedal, even in the US of A is a major desirable feature.

History repeating itself??
Given the author points out the large number of other premium brands all fighting for a piece of the pie he could have established how many Macca's, Ferrari's, Lambo's and so on are also unsold in dealerships. At least that would provide some context and comparison. Lazy motoring journalism, probably worked for EVO at some point.

Now as it's discussed here and there sales will drop even more. Given the fast speed of developement people might wait for version 2.1 (Type S, R or whatever). The whole supercars market is in the pork cycle, too much toy cars out there. Toyota wisely limited the quantity of their LFA. No wonder, Honda Japan didn't wanted to take over the responsability for this baby. But if it's not selling in the US, sales figures must be even lower outside of the US. Switzerland sold exactly one car last year and it went - oh wonder oh wonder - to the former president of Honda Switzerland.
Been discussed before I know, but main reason in my opinion is it doesn't look like an nsx. Can't remember exactly the post but someone on here posted what the new nsx should have looked like and I couldn't have agreed more. This looks too much like a lamboMclaren. Lack of a third pedal also massive for me.

It is a Honda. It isn't a Ferrari Lamborghini or mclaren so why would anyone expect good sales. Its badge will ensure that remains at the bottom of the sales list and the top of the reliability and usability list. This is not what the super car owner is looking for. The badge is king. So it will follow our Nsx cars into semi obscurity. Will it return as a classic as ours have?

The only absolute knowledge attainable by man is that life is meaningless without an NSX
