I said it 9 months ago and I'll say it again:

Initial demand is dead, they'll sit on the lots just like Miata's and Mustangs. They aren't that great on paper and it really is a niche demand, it will be lucky to compete with Miata sales and will likely fall down into RX8 territory.

Edit for reference:

FRS is on target to hit a middling number of units sold compared to the Miata, optimistically we're looking at 17,000 units for the first model year.
