Why Scion FR-S Sales Have Plunged

An extra 50hp and 50ft-lb of torque will still be down on paper against an Ecoboost Mustang and the car would be more expensive. The only way to significantly broaden appeal is make it bigger. And F that noise.

Why is everyone so concerned about the car selling a lot more anyway? Do you want to see a few every time you go out like I do when I drive the family RAV4? I literally see a white limited like ours almost every time we drive somewhere 15 miles away. As long as Toyota and Subaru are selling enough to keep the project viable, I'm happy. And no one knows what that number is. It could very well be 1500 units a month between the BRZ and the FR-S in the US. We don't know. No reason to get wrapped around the axle about it.
