The last one was a Scion rep answering questions from the public on Jalopnik.
That guy is also a salesman, not a decision maker for Toyota corporate and he was not definitive either (and if it's the one I remember his knowledge is laughable, check out the FRS on Leno's car show on youtube, I hate the phrase but I cringed hard watching him flounder to promote his own product effectively). I spend an unhealthy amount on here too and I have yet to see confirmation, feel free to link all 3+ of your sources, I bet I read them too. I'm not saying it will be dead next year, to the contrary I think they'll be shipping them over for at least 2 more years and wouldn't be surprised if we're seeing FR-S arriving on our shores through 2018, a true second generation however is rumors at best.
