Gotcha, so there is the first year "out of pocket" expense by the manufacture, but by year 2 they have recouped that cost/ investment thru selling their car offerings. That makes sense. I'm not so sure BRZ's have gone up much in price the last 2 years in comparison to '16 model year (maybe) , but the 86 did increase in price by about $600.

Also, while we are still at it. The whole 5% of a manufactures car offerings are to be "electric" cars by is it 2019? Toyota has the Prius Prime. What does Subaru have?
