I really hope not. GPF's have ruined the sound of so many cars now and the boxer engines don't sound the best as it is! One more step towards making petrol boring and the swtich to electric seem like a no brainer once all the sound is taken out the equation too.
To be fair, the GR86 doesn't exactly make any noise anyway.
That's true actually. I was looking through the manual the other day as it happens (like a nerd) and there's a section about the GPF and what to do if the warning light comes on. You'd really hope that a company like Toyota wouldn't just "forget" to fit them
are required to make them saleable. As folk around Derby are (or at least used to be) partial to Marstons Pedigree 
we can crowd fund some money for someone to take Him/Her/They down the local and after a few get the full story on what’s going on and report back 
I’ve been trying to get the info out of someone at Derby but getting nowhere. He doesn’t work in the section dealing with the GR86, but has said it’s quite normal for different models to sit there awaiting parts from Japan to be fitted after build.So with a lot of ”us” (A) and the 5/6 degrees of separation thing , someone must be connected to a random Him/Her/They (B) in Derby tasked with making whatever changes to the GR86s sat there collecting bird poop

My anger about my GR86 has completely gone since picking up my New car. That’s not to rub it in, just the truth.
Well done @volksdub sounds like you are working on this matter, it looks as though you may already be at step 4/5 how many pintsI’ve been trying to get the info out of someone at Derby but getting nowhere.

of Marstons Pedigree did you apply If you need more money we can start a “Go Fund Me“ page

I certainly don’t consider my car a worse car either…
I still feel mightily p###ed off for the rest of you. For those of you that still haven’t had a call it would be nice if Toyota even just recognised that the customer service has been atrocious in this case and offered you all a full tank of fuel when you picked them up. Some kind of small gesture, with some honest information, I think would go along way.
To sell a car for enthusiasts, hold them and then expect enthusiasts to not ask questions about why it’s on hold begs belief.
But I digress. Maybe someone should start a Facebook group to storm Toyota in Derby like they threatened to do with Area 51 before
Once I reminded myself of that, lowered my expectations back down to where I normally have them when buying used cars I suddenly felt much better about the situation.
A good take, I think. It's easy to sit around and simmer about not having a car. But I think most of the anger will largely be forgotten the moment you get handed the keys.
100% the same here.A good take, I think. It's easy to sit around and simmer about not having a car. But I think most of the anger will largely be forgotten the moment you get handed the keys.
I am trying to forget about the car and just focus on work, so that before I know it, it's October and the car will be delivered.
Unfortunately, I am failing in that regard, and am instead spending far too much time speculating on this forum, and looking at GR86 content on YouTube/IG in anticipation, and so October still feels like a million years away
So...if you are getting the updates before your dealer, does that mean you're going to get told at some point "Congratulations! Your car is ready to be picked up!", you're going to go to your dealer...and he is just going to stare at you blankly?My Dealer Rang me Today - the last time we spoke, was at the end Of June. He is really sound guy but they are clueless - every time he calls me, I gave him updates regarding my order
So yeah, we laughed today again at Toyota UK Coms, and I said I will update him somewhere around October next time - given Toyota UK decides to speak and cars are ready.
