Have you considered that both Subaru and Toyota could loose money on this car and sell it (at least in NA) for less than they spent building it?

Just brining into perspective - this car holds emotional value to no less, Akio Toyoda. Thus limited production, thus no pricing for so long, thus unusual trim options, thus (I want to say) cancelled\delayed Scion model

I put my bet on the fact that this care will remain rare over the next 3-5 years. I'll not be surprised if Toyota\Subaru will get into a big fight over it and will cancel it all together after a short period of time. Bring it on!
