GR86 GR86 - Paint Colour Choices

[AndyRC]

OP updated with 183 cars - now UK only orders.

This has rebalanced the visuals a little, especially on the automatic cars front.

I've also added a couple of entries to the confirmed EDD tables.

Thanks for the update @beorg Interesting point with only 5.5% being 6AT and assuming the 400 cars is the number coming to the U.K., that could be only 22 6AT in total , an very rare beast. The 6MT is obviously the most popular choice but anyone who does want an automatic, is going to be very lucky to find one in any colour

Auto ones will be unicorns in U.K. indeed
I feel responsibility to care for this car now that I did not feel so much for the GT86 for the last decade.

This looks great, as do most clean black cars. I’ve had a black car before and it was amazing but I was out cleaning it 2-3 times a week and unfortunately I don’t have that kind of time these days or I’d had considered it.

I totally agree, but my 200sx was black so the GR has to be black too. A mid-life crisis has to be accurate, at least!

Stop showing me video's of cars with the Red interior....

Toyota WHY do we get boring black plastic and side panels with grey stitching?

I’ve currently got an A4 in black and I think I wash it more than I drive it ha ha. But still gone for a GR86 in black

Had a VRS in black too before that… should have learnt by now!

All I can see from this picture is that it needs a wash and wax.

This will be very nice in direct sunlight, dare I say the most dynamic colour of the bunch..?

 

[Ersakus]

Nice, I have sapphire blue on my GT86 and it does look nice under the sun. it looks quite dark in the evening or when it is overcast. I got several compliments on the colour so far.
I went with Electric Blue GR86 just to have a change.

I asked one of the reviewers today in Spain about the red paint:

When the CEO brought the paint swatch home I found it hard to describe too , but is very nice

Visuals updated in the OP, now with 183 cars.

Automatic transmission cars' share decreased to 6% and Andy's managed to dethrone the Electric Blue amongst those by switching to Ignition Red (making his colour choice the most popular colour choice for autos regardless ).

Still no pearl white or ice silver auto order on the forum - do auto drivers not like overly bright colours?

I ordered my auto in Magnetite Grey, if I didn't already have a silver GT86, then the GR would have been silver, thought it would be nice to have a slightly different colour. Also wihkut really seeing the cars "in the flesh" made it a bit more difficult to make a decision

Colour split updated in the OP with 192 UK cars from the forum. Duplicates have been removed/replaced. EU users have been excluded.

No major changes to the overall colour split and no sign of a pearl white or ice silver in auto.

I will try to get the order dates tables updated, although it's clear now that none of the EDDs will be fulfilled anyway.

UK buyer, I’d love to say owner- but likely sometime after fossil fuel is banned for sale.

Steel silver ordered, because sometimes I drive like a loon and felt it was a more Q car colour

Based in Weymouth, Dorset- the only UK county that has no motorways- but plenty of interesting A and B roads

Snap for the same colour and Dorset. We certainly do have some great driving roads.

We can do a mini meet, in about 18 months when everyone has a car to meet with

My dealer is Yeovil, they have 4 orders, any idea how many your dealer will be supplying?

Yes, maybe by next Christmas.

My dealer is Salisbury, not sure how many they are getting in?
