Report: 6000 BRZ coupes for 2013 model year!
This was likely stated in another thread so forgive me but this is the first time I have seen it reported by the mainstream auto press. Here is the link

I didn't see the post in the other thread. I've stopped reading every single post on this forum now and just look for new threads. Too much OT bullshit for me these days.
Anyways, for reference last year they sold 13805 WRX and STI combined, and it can still be hard to find one of those on the lot. So combined with the first year model frenzy, it will definitely be hard to find one this year. If they don't increase that number in the future, I think it will continue to be tough to find one on a lot anywhere. No it's not supercar numbers, but it doesn't seem like they are joking around when they say limited quantities. |

6,000 units for the 2013 MODEL YEAR. When will the 2014's be out? Next spring at the earliest? So for not only through November but through next May quantities will be very limited. And who knows what MY14 holds in store.

That's quite a bit.
Combine that with the number of FRSes going to be available (I'm assuming more?) then that's more than enough. It seems like a average production run for a car like this. |

just another reference, Mazda sold 16,897 Miatas in the US in 2006. Mini sold 39,315 MCS in 2009 (global). Ford sold 70,438 Mustangs in the US in 2011.

Exactly. Plus first year tends to be the best year for a car in this segment.

How is that so? We still get the same car. Unless you mean problems with markup and everything.

well, if you're not buying the first MY you won't have to deal with the initial hype being passed on in the form of mark-ups and the limited 1st MY production run. I'm sure SOA will allocate more cars for US consumption as we will probably be the market where the BRZ will have the highest demand.
