Rumors are FRS & BRZ will be dropped

I read several articles about the posibility that FR-S and BRZ will be dropped from the market.
These are the reasons:
1- Very poor sales
2- Problems between Toyota and Subaru. Toyota doesn't want to sale the car under Toyota Brand and Subaru doesn't jeopardized the WRX sales
3- Consumers are dropping for lack of power
4- Competition like VW and Mazda already offering more power on their cars
5- Lack of engine reliability

Parroting those super inciteful news articles I see. Baloney. Go compare 370Z sales figures and tell me that dealerships are having a hard time moving these cars.

How is there a lack of engine reliability?

Show us one single official press release to support any of those statements (unnamed "insiders", click bait blogs, misquoted officials on such blogs and forum theories are not official)

Saw the show when I was like 10. The white one kissed me on the cheek. Felt like the king of the world that day.

What else rattles on yours?

I get rattles no matter what temperature. I have a clunking rattle in the speedometer area, a rattle in the airbag pillar next to my head, in the radio area, a rattle somewhere near the rear deck, and my reverse light buzzes. I get really annoyed by noises like that, and can't block out sounds easily. It figures I have rattles everywhere.

Uggh. That sucks. Wonder what the difference is. I am very much attuned to every single sound as well. I'd be chasing down every little loose thing I could hear.

These are the reasons:
1- Very poor sales
The new sales numbers might be different, but at least in 2013 and most of 2014 the sales beat projections in almost every single market substantially quarter after quarter if I remember correctly. The 86 has been nothing but a financial success to Toyota and Subaru. I see five a day or more in Los Angeles. Saw two RS 1.0s today.

The other member is right about the 370Z, it's been a massive nightmare for Nissan in terms of sales. And it's not going anywhere.
