Very doubtful unless someone imported one from Europe or the Middle East.

I'm pretty sure you must have the only GT86 in Australia, as they don't sell a car called that here.

But seriously, I hate how people who own the car can't get the name right. This will be our version of the "chev badges on commodores" problem.

haha two of my mates had a argument over the chev badged commodores, one was saying you buy them here like that and the other was trying to correct him, it was useless untill one jus happened to pull up next to us so we rolled down the window and asked the guy driving if he bought it like that his exact words were "na mate, i bought 'em after, and replaced the holden ones with the chev badges"

p.s. at least he isnt calling it an FRS

Really? I hate people on forums who act like a **** to noobs.

Everyone has dislikes.

Personally I don't like STi badges on WRXs, HSV badges on bog stock commodores or chevy badges either. But I don't start conversations by telling people that.

It's putting the anti into social media.

I've seen an orange a couple of times, a black gts aero at circle on cavil. I know someone that picked up his black gt a couple of weeks ago. That's all I seen here.
In December you might spot my black gts

I've just grown very intolerant of it, mostly after my dealer couldn't even get the name of the car right. It's 2 goddamn numbers, it's not hard.
