i have to admit it is a little surprising they went went with a hybrid, as opposed to a full electric, concept especially since the rumors & hype around the "hybrid" supra have long been quashed. i'm still not convinced toyota & subaru will want to invest in anything beyond na for the twins. time will tell who knows, maybe as a result of the partnership with mazda, toyota & subie will create a hcci flat 4

Since when? Motor Trend reported a Hybrid option like last month, and rumors are still suggesting 2 different kind of automatic transmission options. I can't imagine why you would need 2 different automatics unless you had a Hybrid drivetrain as an option also.

Actually that is even more interesting since in the first quarter they almost all dropped but the 86 skyrocketed world wide.

I am looking at 86 US sales. 2017 sales are less than half of 2013 sales. Even a model refresh in 2017 did not recover the sales numbers relative to 2016. Toyota should be evaluating the sinking sales. I wonder what they will do about this. And I am afraid 500 cars sold in the US may not be worth maintaining an assembly line.

Anyone know the total number of 2016 MY FR-S's produced? Or where I can get that number? Thanks!

Either way, I'd be surprised if Toyota decides to make a 2nd generation 86. |

Sales numbers are only part of the equation and as a stand alone stat they don't really tell us much. If they made 1,000 and sold 500 then it is a problem. If they made 500 and sold them all it is a home run. We know they are not looking for Corolla numbers out of the car so 500 a month could be right in line with their business plan. That is the biggest question there is for this thread. Unfortunately those numbers seem to be tightly guarded. Did all but a handful get sold? Is there a secret lot with several thousand sitting on it without homes to go to? Without knowing how many were built the sales numbers are almost meaning less as far as the bottom line at Toyota is concerned.

Is that standard that a manufacturer won't say how many of a certain vehicle they produce?
