It's outperforming pretty much every other Japanese sports car sold here in the past 15 years.
Typical Toyota will let the sales fall off a cliff before doing the cautious and economical thing of a mild update to drive a couple more sales and pay for the platform. Just look at the MR2 generations which disappeared from the US for several years. Look at Scion as a brand which Toyota told dealerships they can drop penalty free.
The longevity of this platform will hinge on the JDM. The US can justify enough sales for import imo, but whether or not it deserves a long lifespan or significant development will depend on how much Japan is clamoring for more.
Like someone else has said, they built the car they wanted to build, there ain't much to improve on. For every 100 internet commentators saying it needs moh powah I bet one of them would actually shell out for a >$30k FI Toyobaru with their 'required 200 rwhp'.
