Here's an example, guess what car is going to be refreshed for 2016?

The Honda CR-Z

Total CRZs sold during 2014: 3,338

TOTAL CRZs sold since introduction: 28,689
I think you bring up a great point. The CR-Z is getting refreshed in the US without the hybrid drivetrain. In this case, they listened to what enthusiasts wanted. Will Toyota/Subaru listen to the market in the US and release the second gen FR-S/BRZ with more power or at least give the consumer that option?
