Any one on here from New Zealand?
 

Any one on here from NZ apart from me?
What part of the Country are you from?

I will start...

I am in Christchurch :)

I'm from the U.S., but I'm very curious about NZ. Everyone here who talks about how our government and country are going down hill says they will just move to NZ when it gets really bad. What is you're government like? Is it really that great over there?

government? - its all about the cars in NZ... such a great selection of cheap jap cars constantly flowing into the country,.. awww yea. its great!

many people say how crap USA is. it is true. I currently based in Auckland. From Wellington. FUCK australia

yeah bro, hamilton. what sort of price will the FT-86 be in NZ?

Yes that is a good question I would like to know

Another NZ'er here, in Levin (you don't need to know that ;)).

I would expect the FT86 to be about $60K here... Judging from the overseas price of other cars, and comparing them to the overseas (expected) price of the FT86, and the prices of those cars here... Little more than a new RX8, but far sexier, and should be faster if the specs come out good.

NZ also here.. from Auckland :)
dang... 60k :O out of my budget :(

I will wait and see till they release it.
Toyota was wanting this car to be a affordble drivers car.
For 61990.00 you could go buy a WRX STI or a Stock wrx for 44990.00.
If that was going to be 60k then how much would Subaru sell there verson of the base FT86?
They wouldnt want to sell a Base FT86 Thats NA powered if it cost more than the WRX.
I wouldnt think they be able to sell them :iono:

^ Really? Are those new prices or used? I will admit I only compared one car - the RX8, but I didn't think for a second the WRX would be faster for cheaper?

Yes thats straight off the Subaru NZ site. Mind you since GST is going up so they will be a bit dearer again I would think.
I also only put prices down for the manual versons. Auto WRX is about 2 or 3K cheaper.

So, what does the stock WRX entail? 2.0L Turbo w/ AWD? If so, expect the FT86 (Toyota version at least) to be abit cheaper than that! :D maybe $35K for the mid-low range model? Which would be an amazing price.

another from auckland. old rwd toyota fan. ft86 dreamer..
I remember the nissan s15 specR-II turbo selling for nz$42k before the emission stds got tightened... ok was a few years ago now so add inflation but would hope the new 86 be less than that. at least be competitive with the current corolla range 35-38k ish. please? less mod cons, more emphasis on handling, braking, engine. K THX BYE

I know its late, but I just needed to say, I like your attitude..

Yes From Auckland here mate.Should have a get together once we get our cars to build up a team - "THE 86 TEAM"

Looks like pricing are getting done at the moment. $30 - $35K for the barebone and around $50k for the top spec. I hope the top spec comes with all the digital dials for the A/c + GPS + TRD kitted. We expecting the pricing by April

yep here in quake city. im keen for hard-bums spec 86 hopefully in june if it does come out on 8/6 as rumoured. will be good to have stability control in the winter with the snow even if its rwd. i almost binned my AE70 in september snow it was all over the place ended up ditching it and walking the last 5km!

Good to finally see some one else from ChCh on this 86 site.

So I posted in another thread but it seems there are already a number of NZ'ers here.. cool! I'm in Wellington myself.. and member of a number of Subaru forums worldwide.. this is just adding another to my list :)

from Christchurch too. good to see more NZers on here,
i have moved to shanghai for business, my folks are still in chch and i fly back every 3 months,

back in chch i own a red ae85 notch, black and white ae86 hatch, hoping to get the gt86 here in shanghai, you may have seen my red notch in chch with a big ugly D-wing on the trunk and super deepdish gold wheels, and fill kit, right now getting a gen4 3sgte transplant,

ChCh too... I'm an old KE-fan and an 86-dreamer

Auckland (North Shore Toyota)

One on order now for us to dress up including stuff from Cusco/TRD/Work and HKS at this stage :D

Should be good!
