Automotive sites never sensationalize quotes

Take everything that isn’t an actual quote with a grain of salt... the only one this time is:

Maybe the FT86 is missing sales targets.

Or maybe it’s meeting targets, but Toyota/Subaru would need it to really take off before they could add variants. There's not a lot of profit in a relatively low volume vehicles at this price-point, and small RWD coupes are halo cars (lots of mainstream appeal, but few mainstream buyers).
