Over here in Switzerland they sell very poorly, Toyota has already reacted to it and lowered the price for about 3000$ 6Months after it went on sale. They first only offered the fully loaded high spec GT86 and now also offer the even cheaper "Race" Edition (its basically the FRS, with another 6000$ discount on the fully loaded GT86) which is higly unusual for our marked.
I guess the biggest problem over here is that for the price they offer the car (around 38000$ for the baseline (FRS) and about 46000$ for the fully loaded GT86) it just has to compete with so much "more practical" or "more prestige" options you can buy over here. (For example, an '15 STI is about 48000$, ) That is ofc if you dont know why the GT86 is great. Its sad, but I guess unless Toyota lowers the price below the 30000$ line it wont have good sales at all
