Agree. No surprise whatsoever. A couple of us predicted something like this on this forum a few months back (and I am sure many others had the thought too). Ultimately, they will need to clear whatever residual unordered/cancelled/rejected stock they have. And although many of us won’t like it...
Just saw (about 30 mins ago) a lovely magnetite grey come up the backroads up to Formby Tesco and turn left on the bypass towards Liverpool. It looked ace. Anyone’s on here?
PS I live in Formby and also have a magnetite grey
Interesting to learn that Toyota will be selling through their dealer network for 2 weeks in October. This would make sense in order to clear cancelled orders (and possibly cars they have shipped that didn’t have a name against them). Do you have any more intel/gossip on what the total number in...
I think you are spot on @Triggaaar - due to market conditions I don’t think they will sell out the total allocation. Still think they will have sold a decent number of them. PS I am not saying any of this to be negative, day 6 of ownership for me and I think the car is brilliant - I love it 🥰
For what it’s worth, I posted pictures on this forum a few days ago of 3 cars at my dealers. One was my grey (which looked good to me both in the flesh and in the photo) the others were dark blue and red. What struck me is that I felt they looked far better in the flesh than in my photos...
Silver was the other colour under serious consideration for me too. I haven’t seen one in real life, but from the photos I think the silver looks fantastic 👍
MyT updated to ‘arrived at your retailer’ today. Popped along to take a look. Dealer is Johnson’s Southport (which is a not a GR centre as it happens). Mine is the grey one but I will add a picture of the blue and red one that are also there. All going out on 73 plates 👍
I am expecting early September delivery. Magnetite Grey MT. Car currently at the Derby site. They estimated 25/08 at the dealer. I have requested it is registered on a 73 plate. 👍
Thanks for getting back to me and sorry that you look unlikely to have the car for the trip. I have a grey manual sat in Derby….. you can imagine what I am worried about! 🧐
My gut feel is that this your contact is about right. I don’t quite think they will sell 100% of the second allocation that Toyota global has offered them (they are still offering red/white/grey and have gone back to people who initially declined to try to get more sales/finish selling their...
Sorry to hear about your car. Disappointing after the excitement of thinking you were about to get it. I saw it had your personal plate on it - is it registered (as a 23 plate car)? If it is a 23 plate and you reject it I wonder how they will sell it as new in September when 73 plates are out?
