Article dated March 31st, 2012.

Towards the end is where the BRZ FR-S info is:

Production boost
It looks as though Subaru will build considerably more BRZ, Toyota GT 86 and Scion FR-S units. The president of Subaru parent Fuji Heavy Industries, Yasayuki Yoshinaga, says that 100,000 units of the sports coupe will be produced in Japan each year.

In the US, Toyota has received 7000 orders for the GT 86 and Subaru 2700 for the BRZ - seven and six times more than each company's monthly sales goals. Subaru planned to sell only 6000 BRZ units in the US in the first year.

That's incredible, considering the GT86 is not even offered in North America.

Well, way to circle around the wagon.. I guess the thread can now be deleted, old news.

I did not know about it; thought the highest number for pre-orders had been 1000.

My bad.

If that's the case, I think it's funny how information gets inadvertently regurgitated back into the forums.

Or... 10,000 intelligent individuals who decide to not purchase one of the two inferior cars mentioned previously. For the record, there are forums dedicated to both of those lesser options.

not sure which side of that equation the "schmucks" will be...in about 6 months or so we'll know...because without question all of the car rags will have comparo's of this car against those "also rans"

This has happened a number of times. We don't have a name for this phenomenon yet.

Why are you still here, then? Walk your ass over to the nearest Ford or Hyundai dealer and sign on the dotted line, and leave us "shmucks" alone.
