Just came back from this, fingers be numb. It's exactly 7km from bottom to top...time to start cutting times

I called 3 dealers today and all said they have accepted deposits. RRP is not released yet but prices are said to be below VW golf Gti price which is $38,000

A dealer from NSW is a member of the ft86 forum or whatever it's called, he's been told that people will be pleasantly suprised with the price. I'm happy to pay $35,000.

Deposit will be refundable... Probably be like $500 or so. Once I get it than I'll try sell the 33

Fark...I want one but I'd probably have to sell the bike or Skyline, the former being too young in my possession and the latter not being worth selling. I have three regos/insurances as is

Rego should be for the driver not the vehicle

Are Subaru taking orders too? I was torn between who you'd go with. Subaru know their boxer engines (servicing etc.), but Toyota had the best exterior look IMO. Subaru interior looked better from concept pics.

I wouldn't mind one either, maybe late next year.

[PENGUYEN]

Dont think subie will be releasing because of their symmetrical awd stuff that they stick by here.

Probably best engine under 140k

I reckon, 286rwkw stock and with a re-map of the factory ECU +100kw gains to be had.. awesome grunt

Let me know if you find any TE37 superlaps 19x10 +35 ish.. and 19x9 +20ish or any good looking rims really, also 20s are good too

[blah_blah]

For those that are thinking of buying an 86, what has swayed you into buying it?

As from a car enthusiast point of view one could argue it doesn't offer better performance/handling of the s15 of 10 years ago.

Understandable though if you want that new car purchase, updated interior and arguably less cop trouble.

In saying that I hope it is a success, so other manufacturers can bring out cheap RWD coupé sports cars.

Too bad it only comes in a family boat!

Unlikely to happen but if Ford put that engine into a sporty 2 door chassis that could handle the power, I reckon it would be awesome!

Emotionally, for me it's the idea of a brand new, reliable car with modern everything. It wouldn't be as fast as my Skyline, but everything else would be better about it. Lowered on a nice set of wheels and I'm done. I've hated the look of new cars for the last 10 years...everything looks like a mish mash of ergonomical f*** up compared to the 90's and early 00's. Toyota haven't made anything good looking for 10-15 years IMO.

Logically, it's the answer to the question, what do we have these days in the way of good value sports cars? All the traditional Jap imports are getting old, unreliable and boring. In the new car market, anything good looking (sweet f*** all) and decently quick (370Z, STi, R32) is a $60k+ affair. I think this car will have a brilliant little niche to itself...perfect sports car for young people.
