BRZ and FR-S Sales Thread
I usually check the sales results every month so I thought I would collect them all in one place. Here are the results so far and I will try to update it each month.

So the FR-S outnumbers the BRZ by about 3:1, well I guess that makes the BRZ more appealing for some people.

Already more sold in the us then Honda brought over ITRs in four years that's why I laughed when it was called limited production

Within a month, FRS sold for that much more than BRZ? Is FRS being produced at a higher rate than BRZ?

RWD is a huge departure for Subaru, a deal-breaker for some I was told by more than one dealer regarding the BRZ. It's a better fit for Scion/Toyota out of the gate, plus there's a price advantage. I'll be curious to see how sales hold up over time for Subaru. Hopefully they'll do well, I've been driving Subarus for decades and was all but ready to leave the fold based on current styling trends, but the BRZ brought me back.

Toyota will be importing two to three times as many FR-Ses than Subaru will BRZs. This is reflected in the plant production too. Subaru has said they want the BRZ to be more rare, but we'll see what the production number look like in a year or two. Considering how well they are selling, I think we'll see a large jump in BRZ production. But the GT86/FR-S will always outsell the BRZ due to Toyota being a sheer juggernaut in auto sales. Being a Subaru fan, I'm ok with this since every car that comes from the Gunma plant means more $$ in Subaru's coffers. |

I doubt the FR-S sales exactly 86 in May. I remember back then some non-86er took delivery of their cars in this forum and happy about it. I guess those were just not recorded until June.

The more Scion's that are on the road make me appreciate the BRZ that much more!

@Spaceywilly This is a good illustration now and will become even more telling over time, as we see how Subaru bumps production when they realize a lot of people are cool with the return to a RWD product.

Yes, but the front exterior is different.
