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 think its a incredibly smart plan they did it this way. I agree the FR-S would have still likely outsold the BRZ if they were produced 1:1. By the looks of it , both companies are seeing great success with this venture.

I too am ok with the BRZ being more rare.
