Singapore !!!
 

If u're from Singapore, do introduce yourself.

Can't wait for this beast to arrive to our shores !
My current ride : Subaru 07.

Hey there.

Also in Singapore but going to be one of the first to buy I think. Very excited too!

There will be a lot of information coming soon but current COE pricing is going to make it $170,000......Ouch!

Great to hear from a Singaporean. I think our current COE is going to kill this car sales here too.

People from the States are predicting this car to cost at about US$25k and anything above it is expensive. I was like ... WAT ???? US$25k for a car??? Lucky bunch of people ! I can't even get our current COE for US25k !

Hope to hear from more Singaporeans here and any updates from Borneo Motors.

To receive updates from Borneo Motors : http://www.youcanuseit.com/PRE-PRM/toyota/ft-86II/

been waiting for u folks for like the longest time

I registered for this too. I even submitted a "Expression of interest" from the email and they called me today.

Seems that Borneo will have color list and waiting list of all cars available next week.

Borneo seem to be quite prepared which is surprising!:)

Hey, thanks for the update ! Sounds like great news (except for the price, which will definitely be a turn off). I actually email them yesterday but have not gotten any response yet.

me neither

Guys !!! I received email from Borneo Motors. U can pre-order now.

Anyone know wats the diff between High Spec (Grade G+) and Standard Spec (Grade G)? I'm not going to pre-order cos the COE is scaring the shit out of me.

you can find the specs on the FT/GT/86 section.

too bad don't have the bare-bones-steelie-wheels-spec

I got this too...I was really surprised how organised Borneo is on this. So unusual....in fact I just got the Scion email a day later!

I'm ordering one.....have to do it as I reckon that Singapore won't be getting many.

i'm sure there are plenty of cars to go around.

Bro, if u order 1, do u need to put any form of deposit or sumthin? I dun think we're only getting 60 pieces.

So I just spoke to the sales person at Borneo about getting a 86. They have 2 different ordering methods so $5K is a refundable deposit I paid to get one of the first ones (you can pay $8.6K to get a guaranteed order). I was really impressed.

:thumbup:

They said the list they have on the web is all the cars they know they're getting right now. I don't think there will be lots coming.

any price indication?

Good for u ! What color r u getting? Std spec or high spec?

As for me, I wouldn't dare to pre-order. If the COE were to reach 100k by then, then that's it for me ! Big time ! I'll wait for it to arrive here & see the situation then.

Y is there only the 3 of us in this forum? Are we the only 3 from Singapore interested in this car??? :lol:

i think very few in this forum. agree with you on the COE situation. I have one car COE expiring mid 2013. So i'll wait till then and see how things go.

anyone knows if Subaru will bring the car into SG?

Hope I not missed this car. If the price is right.

No updates from MI website yet. They are pretty screwed up.

The strange this is no one in SubaruClub.sg forum are talking about the BRZ. I dun understand y also.

Hope MI will update their website bout the BRZ soon.

Great to see more members here !!! :thumbsup:

someone on BMW.SG forum quoted his SE saying approx price 180k... if really 180k i will be out

If 180k I'm out too. I'm hoping it won't cross 140k actually :D

It's shouldn't cost more than a Civic Type R, which is priced at $168k now.

only hope will be PI if borneo really wanto chop ppl at 180k

180k may kill the car sale......
For a 2L car.

folks at subaruclub.sg probably not interested in NA cars.... ;)

let's say if the car omv is S$30K. custom duty 20% is S$6k, GST 7% is S$2100, ARF is S$30K, reg fee S$140, COE now @ S$70K. so total basic car cost is S$138240, round to S$140K. depending on how much BM want to make....... let's say S$40K per car, so probably sell @ S$180K :bonk:

Hi all, my name's Jerry, 39 and a Singaporean. My current car is a '09 Nissan Latio but might buy an 86 although am not totally sure on that yet. Even so, it wouldn't be next year but more like in '15 or '16 if and when the COE prices get a reprieve. Haha! :)

Hi michael and sazu,

It is reported that Malaysians will get their BRZs between June and September of 2012.

We can roughly expect the same for Singapore. :clap:

:thumbup:
year 15 or 16 will probably have the turbo-charged or supercharged 86 for you to choose from.

Well michaelscw, I will be counting my blessings if I can have the 200 hp NA version, teehee! :bellyroll:

Welcome to the forum renyeo !

I sure hope the COE will go down in 2013. Spoke to my uncle who works at Cycle & Carriage yesterday. He told me 2012 COE will be worst than this year. I'm aiming for the 86 actually. Either Orange or White :D

Catch up with u guys again in a week's time. Flying off to Bandung later for a short get away :happyanim:

Thanks, sazu. White is also my choice of color. Hopefully there will be pearl white or similar. Have a good trip there! :drool:

2012 Cat B COE won't be that good.
Cat A will be better, more Cat A due to scrap (those from 2001).

Should we wait for the turbo/supercharged 86 or get the NA first? i'm thinking the resale for the NA ones will be no good once the turbo/supercharged version s are out a few years later. :iono:

According to reports, Tada-san, GT-86's chief engineer actually prefer supercharging over turbo. :burnrubber:

Regarding resale market, I won't be worrying about it because the GT-86 will always be in demand wherever the car's sold. That said, you need to be one brave soul to drive it across the causeway, haha! Just saying... :eyebulge:

And early batches of cars might have kinks (bugs) in them so it can be worthwhile to hold out for a little longer. My 2c... :bs:

Check out the colors in the following link. And yes, there is satin pearl white!

i think the 1st gen car shouldn't have much problems/kinks in them..... so many years spend on developing it:w00t:

Nice blue and looks good with the smoked alloys, kinda like "don't mess with me" type. :drool:

Sharp Integra you have there. :brokenheart:

The Latio has a low level of NVH and great ease of use so I will be concerned about these aspects on the GT-86. Until then, a test drive is the proper way to find out. But then I suppose a sports car has to be markedly different in character. Lol!

Hoping Borneo Motors wouldn't include leather as standard fits because cow hides are basically dead weight and therefore defeats the true purpose of GT-86 which is one of a lightweight purist sportster.

someone on mycarfourm mentioned borneo salesmen estimates a 200k pricetag come apr2012... i'd rather buy a resale BMW 125i coupe (or 350z, or bmw 130i hatch or etc etc - or stretch abit and a resale Elise is within reach)...

i think Akio Toyoda will also tell you don't buy his car at $200k. totally defeats the spirit of the car.

i'd like to have one in grey tho, with either Super Advans or TE37s
