I think it's nice to see sales of the wins holding steady. Year over year numbers aren't that different. These were known from the beginning to be more or less niche market cars. Both companies figured it would be worth it for them to do. I'm glad they did. I've had mine two weeks yesterday and I love driving it. So enjoyable.

And yet Honda still won't bring us any more Type R versions. No market, emissions issues, whatever their reasoning is...I will never understand it.

I predict the very special twin will continue to sale good more years ahead in term of one of the best light weight, balance, & handling sport car for an affordable price. If it's not from Subaru, there won't be one like that to has flat 4 low COG engine layout at the front. Many other comparable cars have more hp but can't have the drive feel like the twin.

It's all profit driven, if Honda thought they could sell skateboards with rockets attached for a profit they would. Performance vehicles (even cheap ones like Integra R's and Miatas and Mustangs) are taxing for a company to produce and it's a small competitive market.

More than a thousand of the twin come out every month. Man, no wonder I see them more and more on street. With this rate for the next few years it's going to be pop up every where on the street like the civic & prius. I saw 2 college girls drive today

Nov numbers posted. The FR-S has now passed the Miata's best sales year (at least going back to 2002)

Looks like sales are still strong, even 1.5 yrs after release.

Sales will probably dip once we reach about the 3rd model year. At that point, it might level off to about half of what it is now on a YTD basis. Once the now re-design is released, might see it bump up to similar levels if the car is as good as the current models.
