If FR-S develops like the last Toyota niche sporty car, MR-S, there will be no significant changes for the first few model years. Even then, MR-S changes were fairly minor: body cosmetics, engine durability improvements and unfortunately a 1" ride height increase to improve pedestrian safety and price increases. That's why serious MR-S autocrossers look for the lighter, lower 2000-2003 MY cars.
I wouldn't expect significant changes in already outstanding FR-S coupe platform. It seems Toyota is focusing on developing the FR-S convertible. I would expect a hefty price increase similar to the last two that on a % basis lead all other Toyota series increases. FR-S is Toyota's hottest selling model when measuring inventory levels on the industry standard day's supply on the ground, even outselling the hybrids. It wouldn't make sense to mess with a good thing that is leading the Scion brand back from the brink.
