We might see a spike up to ~15k units in 2017/18 if the refresh is delivered by then and then another continual decline for another 4 years (therefore fewer units with 'Yota badges running around the Americas) and then it will be announced whether there will be a 2nd gen or if it's dead.
Just like every other RWD Japanese "sports car" in the last 20 years. Hell the North American Yota 86 could be fugly and sell even fewer units making Scion the common one and the Yota the rare one with the same performance.

Honestly, it'll depend on what Toyota plans to do with the FR-S. If they finally give her a name, add some more power, and do a kouki update that'll give this car some substance later on down the road.
Make the final production year a little more special and it'll be a classic 10-15 yrs down the road. However, having the Subaru association and not a true Toyota, it'll be a classic but not a legend.
