Scion is in the toilet.  The one sad thing about the FR-S struggling, is no one else will want to make a small sports coupe either.  There is not Corolla, Cruze or Focus coupe, Hyundai may drop the Veloster.  The Camaro and Mustang are there, but other than that is seems like car companies want to just push front wheel drive 4 cylinder sedans and front wheel drive 4 cylinder crossovers.

 

Good to see the geriatric crowd is still supporting the Lexus ES, I guess they are spending that retirement money because they can't take it with them.

Hate to burst peoples bubbles, but society over all has moved away from 2 door coupes and the Millennial crowd wants their social networking and friends with them in a car. As such, the coupe crowd is a very small minority world wide and as the Socialist idiots push their agenda for everyone on mass transit and bicycles, We will see people stay with 4 doors and suv's/cuv's. I really expect the last of 2 door coupes to be the Camero, Mustang, Challenger. Anything else will be stupid 2 door eco box's like the over priced turd SmartCar. Even Toyota's version of that did not last. Mini has loosing sales of their 2 door version also.
