A lot of manufacturers will watch this car's sales and if its not up to what they expect then they might not bother making something identical to the FRS/BRZ. Also with the addition of more competition comes a thinner market for a low powered N/A lightweight coupe. The FRS/BRZ will probably sell around 100k units in 5 years worldwide with the first 3 years being about 70% of that. If more competition comes then its split between a small margin for 5 years. Also the new MX-5 is on its way in and might steal the thunder from the FRS/BRZ with its rumored -2300 lb curb weight.
