Only 8600 Toyota 86s will be available in 2017
 
Not sure if that's USDM or worldwide. Doesn't count BRZs. Strange marketing ploy, for sure.

bit late to the party

Less of a marketing ploy, more smart business decision, because not all that many were sold last year in North America.

Beyond limited sales, making a prosuct seem scarce creates an illusion you need to buy now. Why do you think they make a limited edition every year or two?

And this is a Toyota finally so all the people mad about Scion is a group to try and capitalize on

Because they knew many people would trade. Like an iPhone, some people can't stand to not have the very same car, but different.

Exactly. And if its "limited" it makes people think they have to make a decision right this minute so more likely they to make a rash decisions

I know I laughed pretty hard the first time I saw the commercial and they mentioned "only 8600" lol

strat61caster 02-06-2017 07:50 PM

They'll be lucky to move 8,600

Do these numbers also include the special editions?
