Look at the sales curve over 8 years and keep in mind that as a platform ages, especially without major revisions, interest tapers off. There will be continued interest in these cars 30 years from now, I'll bet on it. In fact it will fall and rise repeatedly.
When the new model hits the market, there will be a greater variety of media for discussion compared to what there was 8 yrs ago. I joined this forum around a month before I got my car in June of 2012. As a then Scion xB owner I had stumbled on the news of an upcoming sports car only weeks before it went on sale and joined a mailing list. The day it went on sale, I placed my deposit. The vehicle arrived maybe 5 weeks later. This all happened due to having the xB as an inexpensive utility vehicle allowing me the budget for a second less practical car. If not for the xB, the FR-S likely would not have happened.
I hope there is a fresh crop of enthusiasts in waiting, and keep in mind after this it's going to be hybrid or electric or SUV of some sort for most people. So, if you never ended up with the Porsche you might have liked, here again is the car that might feel just right, hopefully for many thousands of people.
I'm waiting for the 4 door version for my daily. Added points for shooting brake. lol
