86 already in Aus for TMCA Assessment
 
Old news for some already. I just thought I'd link the original thread to our local forum....

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the white 86 looks like a G series? No LED headlights or spoiler and simple rims - looking pretty stock. Good news for those with a budget. And the red one looks full spec - LED headlights and a full body kit...

Hopefully Toyota Aus decides to sell both! :clap:

White with the 16" is G but it's hard to say what the red one is. You are right with the bodykit too.

That looks more like a small Magazine or similar Photoshoot rather than "assessment"...
Im pretty sure i know the owner of that grey Altezza RS200

Kazama 02-02-2012 12:07 PM

looks like we are getting US spec front LEDs above the foggies and no frameless rear view mirror.....

I see the orginal post and photo on the Toyspeed NZ forum have been removed. Oops, busted!

However, Toyota Aus posted this on their facebook page on Feb 1...

What are you doing today? We are experiencing the 86 in the lead up to its Australian launch!

Don't you just love being drip fed? Toyota's marketing gurus are milking it!

lol.

US spec BRZ is fine. US spec 86 (FRS) is not!!!

i'd rather have the LEDs than frameless mirrors. you can get some used ones on yahoo japan auction later. no biggie.

i want the JDM 86 GT spec!!!
