Dammmmm. that is slow, they came out with ones for the Veloster way faster than that, and there has to be a shit ton more of the twins on the road than the V. ><

In Canada we get both the oem summer and winter sets of mats. The winter mats are nothing amazing. Probably won't handle snow well as they are not deep channeled. They handle rain pretty well but nothing harder. I think the weather tech would be superior.

I got that same exact email in May, July and now again. Looks like boilerplate response to an inquiry when they don't really have a product in the pipeline to me.

Smart companies know that they make a lot of money on a select number of parts, and break-even on many obscure parts. But overall, they have to make the rare parts in order to remain viable in the marketplace. Companies have learned that if they just make the popular parts (for example, those that comprise 80% of their sales) and drop the other parts, business will fall 40%. It seems strange, at first, but then you realize that people order a mix of popular and rarer parts from a company. If they cannot get the whole package at one firm, they will prefer ordering from a company that does.

There is a story about a smart MBA who analyzed a commuter airline and said, "90% of your passengers are carried on only 40% of the flights. Lets eliminate the unpopular ones and offset a lot of costs and be more profitable." The board decided to do just that, and business dropped by 40%. When they analyzed why, they found that business people need to take a late or early flight maybe once a month. When they found that they could no longer do that, they chose alternate means of transportation.

Weathertech is one confoundedly stupid organization if they think that not supplying mats for the FR-S and BRZ will not bite them in the ass.

i filled out the form awhile ago, and will fill it out again..

There was already a thread on this, with lots of people putting in requests. I also did. Now, the hard fact is that I can not even get Weathertech for the wife's Chevrolet Cruze 2013. So, keep hopes up, it is just not the FR-S.

@Art_Mighty · 11-04-2012, 04:50 PM

I called them on friday and they told me they are at least 3-4 months out on them. Apparently they havent even scanned the BRZ / FR-S yet.

I live in the Chicago area and offered them my car for the scanning process but they said they normally work through the dealers to get sample cars

They are obviously not too interested in our small customer pool, which is understandable.
