The speculation was that even though it was a great car it suffered from a bit of a supercar identity crisis: i.e. The country club set types that drive and can afford these cars are impressed if someones says they drive a Ferrari or a Lamborghini, "I drive an Acura" just didn't impress wealthy people and they think that effected sales.
Think there is a similar phenomenon with the Lexus LFA, two years after production ceased and they still couldn't sell them.

I'm also curious as to how it will sell.

Perhaps the sales will be modeled similar to the Ford GT. A true Halo vehicle to simply make a statement. Very costly, low production, but demand will see everyone that's built, sells.
