    GR86 GR86 - The “I’m thinking of cancelling / did cancel my order” thread

    I have cancelled my order as of this afternoon. With the tiny mileage I'm now doing I'm finding it harder to justify any new car, even one as peachy as the GR86. Not interested in taking delivery and flipping it; I just want an enthusiast to enjoy it as I would have done. All the best to you...

    GR86 The GR86 “The Orders / Owners List / GR86 Register”

    No. I was told I had a guaranteed car still, but that I would need a new build slot which will be placed behind all existing ones. The red manual car is going to be re-allocated to someone else with those order parameters. It doesn't need someone else to cancel, just for there to be an...

    Cheers. Yeah, the contrast between rushing to order at 10:04 and being happy to wait many months is not lost on me! But now that I know I'm definitely allocated one, I'm chill about it. The GR86 is a special car in 2022, but it's quality will be most apparent well into the future imo.

    GR86 The GR86 “The Orders / Owners List / GR86 Register”

    Big news (well, for someone...) I've just requested that my order be changed from Ignition Red to Electric Blue, which I was told will likely give me one of the last UK cars delivered. I'm hardly bothered about the wait; for me the GR86 is mostly a long term plan to have a classic-format...

    GR86 GR86 Delivery Tracking and Collection thread

    Mines's now showing Derbyshire in the Must app. Not sure what's with the trickle, or what to expect next?

    GR86 Exhausts

    I've had the same thought. It's a tad too obnoxious on the US cars (especially the cold start), but with some over zealous UK-spec muffling it could be very nice!

    GR86 The GR86 “The Orders / Owners List / GR86 Register”

    Take heart and believe, my driving enthusiast brethren! Toyota have two years to deliver ~400 cars. That doesn't sound very difficult, and the first deliveries are (seemingly) scheduled for the next few weeks. I know the information blackout from Toyota (not for me, but for many) is the...

    GR86 GR86 Delivery Tracking and Collection thread

    My order has been updated with "In Transit, Portbury, UNITED KINGDOM" It's still showing July 15th (3 days earlier than the original 18th shown); I expected to be caught with the other delays.

    GR86 GR86 TRD Body Parts

    I am extremely interested in a ducktail spoiler in Ignition Red, particularly if you can get some increased discount for it as a more popular SKU!
