No email from Toyota Australia... Rant TIME! - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

So I would like to say Toyota Australia really don't want to sell alot of these cars.

I have no been kept up to date with this car from Toyota Australia at all, only reason I so much is because of my own investigation or find the information on forums...

This is why I am not surprised with the flood of questions from people who only just started to hear about the car due to all the jurnos flooding the mainstream sections with images of this car.

TOYOTA AUSTRALIA!!! WAKE UP!!!! START GIVING US MORE INFORMATION!!

Looks on the bright side, at least you are up to date on all the exciting Aurion news.

Getting their 86 page as a production model live is a good start....

I did get a call today from Robbie at Llewellyn Toyota, which was awesome, he asked if i had heard the news on pricing and was equally as excited as me about the whole thing. He had seen a whiteout GTS and was almost speechless, I could almost hear the grin on his face over the phone. He's going to let me know when they have one I can go check out and I'm 85-90% sure I'll drop a deposit on that day.

I got a call from my dealer as well. The gts was auto one I think. He loves it too :p
Reassuring thing was that he fit in the car and with the seat all the way back he had trouble reaching the pedals (he's 6'3" I think but shorter than me still) so yay. Told him to call me the second there is one there

if its orange even better

Tony
you could always try turning up at the greek club in west end tomorrow morning, and pretending to be a salesman.. just sign in, no one will know.
If you manage to crash successfully, post photos on here!
Seriously though, you have my number; call me later in the week. I'm spending the day playing with my Ducati and Harley.

i think it's still not officially released until 18th June so the website isn't live yet.

Staticfrost · 06-06-2012, 12:25 AM

Well wtf was the point of give the price... the scion website was live well before the car came out... the car official released 6 days ago.. they have known the pricing for so long... Argh Toyota Australia.

Nardi330 · 06-06-2012, 12:46 AM

yeah they could have done better but i'm happy after the price is released and i can wait patiently for my car to arrive. it's all good here.

Staticfrost · 06-06-2012, 01:07 AM

Cause this is my Rant thread i will rant some more!!!

Supplies of just 250 a month and a pre-order bank of more than 500 buyers will ensure a waiting list for those that place a deposit now, and delivery delays are sure to increase following this week's announcement of a lower than expected $29,990 starting price. Australian dealers began taking $1000 deposits in December and some prospective buyers have offered up to $3000 extra to jump the delivery cue.

This is the biggest load of BS ever!!! Why would someone who put a bigger deposit get the car first?!!?1 The car sells for the same amount!? Makes no sense at all!!!

If this is happening something should be reported to someone surely!! Oh look at me I am richer so i can get it first... RANT!

I've received an invitation from my dealer to view the 86 and meet some footy players. But that's on the 21st, it's like 2 weeks from now
