Success is not an opinion, it is a measurable number that is set before the product is put into production. It's so silly seeing all these publications gauge success as a measure of how good they FEEL about FRS/BRZ sales.

100k units per year worldwide
~20k per year Scion's in N.A. with a roughly 2:1 ratio with the BRZ

They're pretty much hitting targets but definitely not exceeding them. There's so many factors that it's hard to judge, they're probably pumping them out as fast as they can right now the real question is whether or not they maintain current sales through the summer and next year, that's the real barometer. They can't sell more than they make, this isn't wall street.
Edit: lol the 100k/year article lists this site as the source and following that rabit trail posits that Japanese targets were about 1,000/500 units per month of the GT86/BRZ respectively.
