GR86 Extending the waiting list?

Ordered last night. Black one . I ordered an EB last year but silly me cancelled (now a few k more) so earlier this year I got a lovely Fiesta ST (last of the MK8.5’s) which I love, plan is to keep them both for a year and decide which one is my keeper.
It’s classic FOMO and whilst I love the ST I think running a GR86 also for 6-12 months will convince me the best for my lifestyle.

Whilst the ST a hoot to drive it’s not a looker imo and after seeing a GR86 last week at Goodwood that was enough to reach out to Toyota.

Interestingly I emailed 3pm yesterday to re-register my interest this time with a different email and 2 hours later I got the email inviting me to order one. Guess the folks who were looking for “overs” will be disappointed but great for genuine fans of the GR.
I’m really surprised that the demand seems to have dropped off for these cars if your case is typical of the current situation..

I guess you might be right that a few have been taken in by the FOMO aspect…

It seems to fly in the face of stories like @Triggaaar who struggled to get the invitation to order.. But well done for getting a result 👍🏻👏🍻

Yeah if anyone is serious about getting one before they are all sold out all I did was clicked on the website GR Register an interest (but I used my secondary email address rather than my primary) thinking that it may get lost/ conflict with prior orders / cars I have had.
Clicked and ordered with a £1k at 23:45 last night and woke up thinking it was all a dream,

edit : went back just now on to my link /invite to see and looks like only Red/Grey and White left . I think it was mentioned earlier.

Well done, i saw the Black at Goodwood and looked great. Not normally a fan of Black car and Black wheels but they looked different enough to get away with. But would look even more epic with Silver or Black Chrome wheels (that someone posted earlier) (y)
 
Yeah - back Into black cars atm wife just picked up a Golf and looks pretty mega… guess who will be busy Sunday morning cleaning eh!
Yup that'll be us! Are you going for a ceramic coating or anything?
 
Yeah I feel I need to… just crunching numbers atm. As don’t want to sell my ST and running 2 cars for 6-12 months wasn’t in the business plan 🤑
It's a bugger - I'd really like to keep my GR Yaris and the 86 but I don't think they'd both get the use (I tried running two cars before) to justify the expense. I'm also custodian of a van at the moment so space is a bit of an issue too 🤪
 
So did you just add your name to the waiting list after Goodwood, or did you join another way?
Hi I added my name on the portal (register on interest) on the GR86 page only yesterday about 2pm and found an email sent about 5pm saying I can order one. I am not sure if I was lucky or as I have bought 3 GT86s before over the last 10 years (special treatment🤔) I jumped a virtual line not sure… my advice is try again but use a different email account - good luck

I'm the same as you guys too many cars and not enough space. I'm stretching both bank account and drive to be able to be able to keep 718 and GR and for the time being the more sensible Leon. But I have had Toyota rear wheel drive Coupes since 1989 so couldn't resist the opportunity 😅
 
Just told my other half's son to get himself on that website and click 'keep me informed' and he may be lucky, thanks for heads up.

I'd love a 718 - I was very fortunate to get to drive a boxster T on some lovely alpine roads and for me, it blew the rest of the cars there away. I'm also a big fan of the A110 but it's a bit of a struggle for me to fit and the boot space is a challenge for a car that I'd use daily.

One day I might see about stretching to one of them but the great thing about the 86 is you get that fantastic handling, reasonable ish practicality and it's about half the price of a 718/A110!
 
Anyway, phew - got the invite. Deposit paid.

My first choice would have been Electric Blue, but for some weird reason they removed the forum's favourite (judging by the colours ordered thread) colour from 2023 options. 2nd choice was Sapphire Blue, but they're out.

So I've ordered silver :)

Well I thought I'd ordered silver. Got my confirmation email just now, clicked to confirm, and silver has gone :rolleyes: What was the point in asking what colour we wanted if it then goes anyway.
