Your "guess" is pure speculation (unless of course your credentials include a high enough position with one of the involved companies).
My statement of "it is planned already" is made through over 30 years in the auto industry and is not a "guess" at either direction they may take!

Really? It takes years to react to the market? Maybe on the production side but not on the management side.
FR-S/BRZ production has a certain capacity. If sales were at the point that the factories were
at full capacity for months then management would decide to invest more in the car.
But if production was at significantly less than capacity, then management would decide to scale back investments or maybe even kill the car line all together.
Its stupid to suggest for any car company would have a plan
set in stone before the car is even available for sale. 30 years in the industry and you think car companies are that stupid? Its all about being flexible, being open to possibilities, good or bad.
