Also, reading customer feedback during the honeymoon period is a little misleading, but good stuff none the less. |

That's great news for the BRZ.

It looks to me like the average age is 30 something. But holy cow, almost 80% bought the top end model. |

Yeah I was thinking the RA was going to do really well but I guess not.

On our thread, I think 60-70% are getting the limited.

Wait is there something above S? I feel like Limited is probably better equipped than the S.
I'm surprised only 18% of people went for the R, but I guess I have no clue about what Japanese people like so I shouldn't have any expectations. I'm betting that the R models were mostly <29 yo buyers. |

S is the highest. The trim levels don't really match up with the american ones, for example S is the only one to get the lsd standard and navi isn't standard on any model. I think you'd see similar trends with almost any car in Japan. People here just tend to buy the highest trim available.

Very interesting stats. Im not surprised that RA have the significantly lowest sale because no one in their right mind will buy a "brand new" car with an incomplete package. Well things will be different after the aftermarket catches up, atleast a couple years maybe.
