2009 Ferrari California, they can make 2500, will they sell 2000 ?

Background: the 2009 Ferrari California is a new hardtop convertible. some afficiando's consider it a sell out. Some like the appeal to the family, since you can have 2 tiny seats installed in the back.

Ferrari can make 2500 of these cars
In the USA they shall be selling for between 200,000 and 220,000 depending on the extras.
oh by the way they get a combined 18 mpg on gas.
Ferrari can make 2500 automobiles this year. It is shipping 500 to the USA. Will combined sales in the world total 2000?
