I’m really surprised that the demand seems to have dropped off for these cars if your case is typical of the current situation..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 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
