Subaru BRZ and Scion FR-S - US' Fastest Selling Cars in May

Toyota and Subaru are onto a winner with the BRZ slash FR-S slash GT-86. It’s the sports car everybody was waiting for, and it thankfully delivered on the manufacturers’ promises of affordability, sporty style and excellent handling. It comes as no surprise to find out that the Subaru and Scion versions of the car are the best selling cars of last month, in the US.

It really comes as no surprise that the two cars are off to such a good sales start, as people already had them pre-ordered, so practically they had already been sold months in advance. If it’s numbers you want, according to edmunds.com, BRZ are flying out of the dealerships at a rate of one every 4 days, while the Scion takes one day longer. The third fastest selling car in the US is another sports car, the Audi TT RS, at a rate of one per week.

The signs are good and we should be seeing more and more of these jointly-developed sports cars on our roads, and we’re all the better for it. Instead of buying gas-guzzling supercars, people should buy these cars, which are greener, cheaper and most often than not, more fun.
