Back on topic.
Here's my take on this. I've stated this to my friends in FB, but sports/sporty car sale plunge is usual thing. Miata, STI, Mustang, Camero, Z & so on. That's why every 2~3 yrs, they have facelift to bring the sales up again.
FYI, FRS/BRZ/GT86 weren't meant to be mass production like Civic, Corolla, Focus & so on. Tada-san (Chief Engineer of this car JIC somebody didn't know) stated that first year of the sale when world wide ppl were complaining that FHI weren't making fast enough. Current slow sales make up for all the extra sales happened on first yr.
FYI all those article bout plunge & so on is just auto bloggers want everyone's clicks/views. Just like yr before twins came out, all those article bout turbo this, AWD that, Toyota only get turbo this, Subaru get turbo & AWD that. When you get to the source, they got it from here in the forum bout members wish list. One of us trolled & said FT86 will come out twin turbo w over 350hp... & I can't say which retarded auto blogger took it seriously & posted on their site, but I can tell you, it was funniest thing (sadly they took it down next day).
Anyways, all the articles you read, did they interview President Akio Toyoda?Speaker for FHI? Or even Tada-san? Nope, nothing. Both Toyota & Subaru stated there will be next gen twins (you can search that easily on the Google). Can't say "when" but facelift & few extra goodies is on the way...
I think, I've spilled too much info here.
Now, let me ask you guys this. Do you guys really buy this car cuz auto blogger said this & that? Cuz let's face it, our car isn't great on the sheet of paper. There were something outside of "numbers" that made you guys buy the twins. Maybe the looks, balance, dynamic of this car, low CoG or whatever it is. So why now taking these article like a bible? Cuz I don't care what auto blogger gotta say. I don't care if they keep continuing or discontinuing. I bought one already & every time I drive it, gives me a huge smile, that's all it matters to me. What do I care bout nay sayer, it's my damn car & I love it! Rather spend driving on the canyon or race at the track having fun than sit on my ass reading these pointless articles
