The most popular (Camry, 62,837 units) and the Ford F-Series (85,766 units) would sell in the US in less than 3 months, the entire world-wide run of the 86/BRZ/FRS.
In total, 2,056,357 (1,057,679 cars and 998,678 trucks) were sold in the US in 2 months.
I don't think the US allotment of the BRZ/FRS is going to make it common anytime soon, even if all 100K of them came here. |
I agree it won't be like a Camry or F-150. But hopefully the increased production will decrease cost, increase aftermarket support and decrease dealer markup.
