I'm going for a first year model. Toyota has been dangling this FT86 concept in front of us for years - if you wait for their "special" models, it could be 2-3 years. They're not so good at the "every year" thing until they prove they can do it. The car is still 5-6 months away!
There's also the chance of losing some cool options in following years. I got a 2003 WRX. In 2004, they changed the seats. They look ugly and cheaper. Love my '03 seats. For all we know they could take away the red stitching, or drop the limited model, etc.
I wouldn't expect a sedan or droptop version too soon.
If Toyota offers a supercharged version, or some fancy TRD options, Subaru will do something similar. Remember Subaru is making ALL these cars. Toyota will literally hand them build specs for any model changes. Wouldn't be tough for Subaru to offer those options on their car. I'm guessing Subaru will share model changes with Toyota. I could see a lot more variations if Toyota were building their own.
Good thing is by next May we should probably already know what the first special release will be, before any of the early adopters buy the first model.
