It looks like we may be starting to see a decline in sales for the Twins. Given it's a niche sports car that's been out ~ 2.5 years with no significant updates, that's probably about right.
If Toyota wants to maintain FR-S/GT86 sales, I think it's time for a refresh. The chassis is still fantastic with awesome balance and feedback, so I would leave that alone to reduce development costs on the refresh.
I feel like they could make the biggest splash by increasing power. Maybe spend a little money bumping the base engine to 210 hp (which should be achievable through small exhaust and tuning revisions). Then figure out a way to release a $35k FI version making 280-300 hp.
To add a volume seller to the lineup (and subsidize development costs of the FI powertrain), create a lightweight $32k RWD sedan off the FI platform. That's the cash cow that will keep this profitable.
