Authenticity plate for the 86
 
"IF" Toyota is only making 1000, should they put authenticity plates on each car? :iono: Seems like it would be cool to know exactly which one you got.

If they are only doing 1000 a year then yes. If they are going to ramp it up, or if the 1000 number is for Japan only then it's not worth it.

i bet the 1000 a year info has been mistranslated*praying*

I will need lots of spare parts and i will need lots of this car to be made to make the spare parts cheap!

beirouty 11-29-2011 04:29 AM

i think every hand built model has a plate with the name of the person who built it ?
or is that just for rolls royce ?

i also dont believe the 1000 cars a year thing, so not toyota like and would mean the cars will be very expensive and not affordable like they said it would be.

If they do hand build the engine then they might do the same thing ad the LF-A and give us a plaque with the signature of the people who built it.

Come on. This is not an LF-A. Think how many engines will blow up from the 400 PS turbocharger-kits. I hope it will not blow up from the 300 PS supecharger-kits.

That guy doesn't know what he's taking about. They will be making a lot more than 1000 of them: http://www.thetruthaboutcars.com/201...all-hand-made/

This. Leeky just sharing what he hears.

Toyota PR probably don't know much besides the name of the production car.

iff2mastamatt 11-29-2011 12:22 PM

I'm hoping Leeky got bad info too, but I give him credit for trying. However, since this first model year will be a collectors car, they should number each one if it will be low volume.

Giccin 11-29-2011 01:18 PM

Yea.. don't bash on Leeky. GTFO if you get butthurt easily. At least he's finding out what info he can get in JP.

Take what you get with a grain of salt.

Zaku 11-29-2011 01:58 PM

Lol i love the statement about subaru allowed to make 1000 cars but toyota get to make 19000 of theirs. Yup definitely grain of salt since the first day info came and lol Leeky your famous haha way to go buddy :D

Snoopyalien24 11-29-2011 02:06 PM

Hey don't bash Leeky! Hey, hey guys, let's attack the noob!

I guess it sucks cuz, no one is perfect, and we don't speak every damn language known
