So then when does it switch to 2014? That's a really small number of cars to make. I thought Toyota said they would make 20,000 in the first year. Was 2,000 a typo?

I thought it was an abnormally low number, but it is what they said. They said they plan to up production numbers for it next year. I don't know if that means a 2014 will be out before the end of the year. Just going off what I was told lol

Maybe it means 2000 for this year. Then the rest will continue in 2013, just my guess.

I wonder if this explains the weird June allocations, which show only a handful of cars coming.

When I heard it I thought it was low, but when I thought back to June allocations, I was like must be true. I think she had 8 to give to 44 dealers. It's insane.

I think the 2,000 # was just for our region. I think it was 14K for the entire model year.

Aw, no word of TRD bodykit?!

raphymartinez · 06-12-2012, 09:32 PM

I know the Boston region will be getting about 500 from now till the end of the year. That's not a lot. Last allocation had about 14 FR-S' and this region has 72 dealers.

Good to know. But God someone needs to go to market with a darn exhaust for this thing soon. I'm sure most people on this board want one ASAP

tripjammer · 06-12-2012, 09:57 PM

No way is it 2000 for the entire year for the USA! That is less than the BRZ numbers!

They already sold about 2000 units...

ruskymx · 06-12-2012, 10:10 PM

My area's Ride & Drive is Thursday and Friday at Pocono Raceway! I cannot wait to go there because it should be a blast! I'm only at 630 miles or so and haven't really experienced the true potential of this car yet.

I guess if they discontinue Hot Lava, I'll have a collectors car then.

I wouldn't doubt it one bit if they discontinue Hot Lava. Its a butthole move to some people but it brings up the value. I kept getting calls from the dealership I got my xA from after they "replaced" it with the xD cuz it was in higher demand all of a sudden

Agreed, I am calling

on the numbers he was told. The BRZ is projected slightly over 500 month / 6,000 a year for US.
