This is to be expected though. All cars end up going down in price from the dealer lot after a few years. Maybe this will calm people down with the "its over priced" banter that some have about the car.

They dropped prices in the UK last year and it helped sales so it makes sense to try it here too. Also the exchange rate with the yen is favorable for American buyers.

FRS went up about what the BRZ went down so Toyota must be satisfied with the sales numbers.

$300.00....wow...i can see those lines now.
Seriously, you could walk into a subaru dealership today, tell them I'm buying the BRZ, but i want $300.00 off and they will sell it to you in a heartbeat. Some dealers in Canada still have 2014 on the lot.

To the best of my knowledge and unless things changed the dealer in London refused quota on the 15s and 16s since the 14s sat so long.

That isn't fair. The Canadian ones FRS list went up way more than that.

That is a $300 decrease with a few added features in the car. It got a better info system and a back up camera. It ain't much but it is something.

That doesn't mean that they can't charge for it. They are made to have 100s of safety devices but they sure aren't free.

Remember the day when my dad was furious that he had to pay $30 more for a car because it was required to have seat belts.
It was one of the very first Jeep Cherokees to ever come off the line and had 4 miles on it. He drove it 2 blocks from the dealer and the engine seized solid. It didn't have a drop of oil in it and never had. All of a sudden he forgot all about that $30.
