My understanding from early statements of Subaru and Toyota, that the factory was being designed to build up to a maximum of 100,000 units "per year". But they started off with low production numbers and then started ramping up the output. It was never meant to exceed 100K cars (Toyota/Subaru) combined. So it seems the sales numbers are pretty close to what was expected, so their costs per car should be right about where they planned it. That bodes well for continued production for both companies. (And Scion needs this car to add excitement to their lineup.
I would not be to concerned with Europe sales right now. They are suffering the largest drop in new car sales of any major world market right now. All cars in Europe are down in sales right now.
