This is a really important nugget to pull out of what Jack said:
We plan on selling over 10,000 FR-S this partial first year 10K! So Subaru has 6k and Scion has 10k. So 16k for the year sounds about normal for a model like this. I'm a lot more confident that I'll have my car sooner than later. It also looks like only 1243 cars are actually sold/booked. Which is interesting since I'm not sure if that counts the deposits people have dropped off, or if that is outright purchases already. That'd be interesting to know. |

I can't help but laugh at whatever Internet censor mutated the word c-o-c-k-p-i-t into ****pit in that transcript of Tada-san's speech. (in the 3rd paragraph from the bottom).
