That is great news. Being the better of the two id love to eventually see more brz posts than scions

And i stand corrected.

That article is not specific to the BRZ, but hopefully the BRZ would be included as part of the production increase...

Yeah, I hope so too.

I think the earlier announcement of doubling BRZ/GT86 production probably rolls into this overall plan of more cars throughout their product lines. I don't see anything in there that leads me to believe this relates to BRZ production, but we can hope. I'd like to see them sell a lot more.

There's a serious Impreza shortage right now too. Everything dealers have are Outbacks and Legacys, which are made in Indiana. They need to expand production over here to include Impreza if they hope to keep up with demand.

Nowhere in this article does it say they are increasing BRZ production. They are talking about expanding overall production for all of Subaru.. and they are doing so by adding more capacity in Japan vs. in the US. It does not, however, state that the BRZ is adding production.

The redesigned 2012 Impreza is manufactured in Japan, and in the US its currently selling in a month about what the BRZ was reported to have allocated for a year. Between the Impreza and BRZ producton it's certainly possible that Subaru may have shifted more of their total production to Japan, but I don't see any reason to expect different US BRZ allocation from the article.

I kind of hope they don't increase brz production. I like the Limited availability

ngabdala · 05-27-2012, 09:48 PM

Me too. Although, there would be much more room to negotiate prices.

Even though it didn't say more brz's, they are building 28% more cars by the end of march 2013. Anyone would assume with the increasing usa sales it would include what the market is demanding.

That was my take on the article

Hm, Subaru can't make up their mind. Only a week or so ago, after being denied the opportunity to build a factory in China, Subaru was saying that they are gonna expand in the U.S., by investing $75mil. I wonder if they reconsidered that or this is in addition to.
