Oh no, is that straight from the horses mouth?

I was just about to post this:

"
Spoke to my dealer again earlier as they hadn't called me back after the last time.

They were very surprised to hear that the car was in the country, yet I'd been given a delivery date of the end of October which they thought was far too long. Three and a half months from arrival to delivery is pretty bizarre.

They checked their system and it showed the same date, so are going to contact Toyota to find out what's going on. Hopefully."

YEP, APPARENTLY TOYOTA DECIDED THIS IN THE LAST HOUR, ALL CARS TO BE HELD UNTIL END OF SEP - DELIVERED OCTOBER ONWARDS.

Any idea why? Same reason as before i.e. to launch all cars at once, or something else?
 
I've just spoken to Toyota Online team, I must say a much more pleasant experience that the last time, I assume because they are all less stressed! I wanted to confirm that I no longer wanted my private plate on the car and was abit worried that it had gone off to Derby that I might not have the chance to have it on a Toyota assigned plate.

This was sorted out very quickly and he confirmed my car would be on a 72 plate, with delivery around October.

Edit: Just to add I spoke to Toyota before I saw this update, it wasn't the reason for my call.
 
One minute its October, then it's 2023! I was told July by Toyota months ago - since then have heard absolutely nothing from Toyota and the dealer.
The black hole of communication.
Got to a point where I dont believe anything any more - including comments like the one above.
When there is some actual evidence, then I'll happily believe every word.

Above fresh from Toyota Online retail about 20 mins ago. My car arrived in Portbury in June, system said delivery 6/7, dealer said expect 25/7 - last week Toyota said would be a couple of weeks, today they just casually announced a decision has been made to delay all shipments until end of September for car deliveries in October. I just sold my car last week, i'm taking this up with Toyota as they are taking the proverbial and the lack of communications is disrespectful to all customers.

Ok, if you sold your old car, i can understand your fury.
I will trade my GT86 for my GR86.

But 2 months without a car is.. crap.

I wonder if they will contact any of us to say this?

Thats half my frustration, surely they'd have the decency to communicate something to customers as opposed to just dropping an extra 10 week delay on an already built and delivered car. I can only assume there is more to this than it being marketing launch alignment across Europe.
