So you’re one of the thousands enthusiasts excited about Toyota, Scion and Subaru’s brand-new rear-wheel-driver sports coupe. Well, if you’re a Scion fan and live in the United States, you will be blessed with the FR-S as the Toyota GT 86 won’t be coming to the stateside (it will only be sold in European and Japanese markets).

However, if you’re a Subaru fan, you better act fast. According to dealers, only 6,000 units of the Subaru’s version, known as the BRZ, will be coming to the United States for the 2013 model year.
