The car was practically the same for 10 years.
Right and the RX-8 was an 8 year platform. I could see the BRZ being an 8-10 year platform with a major refresh somewhere around year 4.

Sales will ultimately determine it's fate. There is going to be lots of competition in the 2 door RWD space in the immediate future with lots of major refreshes/reboots from the likes of Ford, Chevy, Nissan, Hyundai, Mazda etc.
