We should be seeing one half of the 36-60k production sold in the states. A mid-range estimate of 24k cars (48k/2) split as 6k BRZ and 18k FRS (1:3) sounds plenty to me.
This.

Considering Toyota has seen 7000 orders in Japan ALONE, Subaru's plant will be concentrating on FR-S production. Remember, Subaru gets a bite of every FR-S sold, so it's not a lost sale when a FR-S leaves the plant instead of a BRZ.
