Most definitely! My latest car was a 15 yo, 125HP Audi A3 and the difference is staggering 😂 It's a joy to drive and totally worth the wait, so hang on! October 4th, I couldn't post a picture earlier because lately I'm super busy 😥 I should be able to take it for a spin in the Alps next week...

Hi everybody, I can finally edit my delivery status: I finally got my car (that was sitting at the dealer here in Italy since early June)!

I also have confirmations from two different Italian dealers that the update has been released and the cars should be on the way!

Kind of: I saw it on Instagram, because the dealer made a post about it (that's how I knew it had arrived), but since it's an hour away from where I leave, and I've been quite busy lately, I haven't seen it irl yet...

The car at the dealer would be mine... It arrived in early June, but I'm from Italy, so that is the reason 😉

@Kosh did the "Toyota insiders" on the German forum said anything about this delay? Do they know anything?

Does that mean that each single dealer here in the EU, with a GR86 on hold, is expecting parts from the other side of the world to fix this problem? Do these insiders know if these parts are already on the way or is the solution yet to be found? Do they have an ETA? Thanks for sharing the info...

May I suggest you some kit modelling that will totally distract you from the wait?

It would be nice to know the extent and the details of the problem though, but the dealer didn't seem to know (or wasn't willing to share) much...

I guess it might be the case: a guy I know should also get his 86 (premium, manual, red) and so far his dealer said nothing about any recall... For what it's worth looks like mine was shipped in early April (about a month before I even ordered it)

According to my dealer it's the brake actuator: but that's all he told me. He just said that it had to be checked and eventually changed...

Same here: my car (base, manual, electric blue) unexpectedly arrived at the dealer here in Italy one week ago, but it's on hold because of this recall, although I checked on the recall page using my VIN and there was no mention of such a thing... Apparently though it is about the brake...

Nope, sorry, I never even looked for a brochure 😅 According to this article: https://www.motorbox.com/auto/magazine/auto-novita/toyota-gr86-sold-out-quando-partono-nuove-prenotazioni Toyota Italy took about 300 orders (while a few weeks ago it was rumored that only 100 would have been available...

Yeah, installing a child seat is going to be quite an experience I guess :D

Nope, in Italy all the coulours are (were) a free optional (although the MSRP il a little higher than in Germany)... 35K € for the Base model (all included) and about 37K € for the Premium, so I can't really complain about that :D

Hi there mate, thank you for the welcome! I'm sorry, I thought our markets shared the same names for the colours! Thunder Blue should be the equivalent of your Electric Blue (I wonder why they had to change the name for each country and make this mess, instead of keeping things nice and simple...)

Hi everybody! First of all, thanks for the guide on the "hidden data", it's really useful and interesting! Secondly, I'm from Italy so things might be a little different for me, but I ordered my GR86 (base, thunder blue, manual of course) about two weeks ago, one week later I received the...

Hi everybody, I'm a 33 yo guy from Turin, Italy I have been in love with the old GT86/BRZ for a few years, and finally a couple of weeks ago I managed to order a Thunder Blue Base GR86 According to the Toyota website my car should be already on the way, so I'm hoping really hard that it...
