We're an unconventional few here in a world surrounded by mediocrity, so the FR-S's appeal is appreciated more and any suggestion of declining sales leading to dropping the model isn't good news.
The reality is that of all the dozens of models of cars, trucks and SUV's Toyota produced over the past 60 years, only three names still exist.
I'm just grateful that Toyoda-san committed to this project over the objections of the bean counters, but with his last name he has final say.
I hope they're making a reasonable ROI on these cars, enough to justify a Gen. II, but if not it's been a breakthrough car running against the tide of millions of Corollas that please the boardroom, not most of us.
Still hopeful their FR-S experience will grease approval of FT-1. They'll have a bank of 25,000+ happy FR-S owners ready to trade up if they haven't bought a Corvette or Mustang already.
