^beat me by less than a minute.

My point is that a conservative production schedule makes sense for Subaru for a number of reasons, and none of them are to "create buzz". Subaru wants every single car sold and every dollar of yor money in their pockets. That's what a business does. But since this is a NEW car that doesn't fit Subaru's market in the slightest, they obviously aren't going to produce huge numbers of cars that might sit on lots and not get sold.

Don't forget that Toyota is getting their version from the same factory, and Toyota will outsell Subaru by a huge margin. It makes sense to give the lion's share of production resources to producing the GT-86/FR-S than to the BRZ.
