Confirmed Details:

Australian specs and naming:

We will have two versions, both available in Manual and Auto
- Toyota 86 GT 2.0L Petrol Coupe
- Toyota 86 GTS 2.0L Petrol Coupe

The Toyota 86 GTS will have an Aero Package option.

When people refer to the 'top spec' they are most likely referring to the 86 GTS w/ Aero Pack.

Sources?
Or they should be in orange.

I think at this stage apart from the car is coming nothing is confirmed officially by TMCA...

Thanks for reconfirming my earlier posted information, i was beginning to worry.

Top spec we refer to as the GTS, Aero was always Aero or Nur Aero.

As for launch, id suggest test drive avail late may with 8/6 avail for delivery, but each dealership would have the ability to prepare each customers car, you know pull all the plastic off wash and detail final check over etc as they arrive at the dealership. Does this seem like a possible scenario??

Ill pm a question regarding specs.

Exactly.
So far all I see in this post is wild speculation.

Not only is it speculation, its doubtful speculation.
I rekon the badges are far more likely to be SX and ZR like Toyota has been puting on AUSDM "sport" cars for years. But thats just a guess, much like everything else on this forum.

He works within the TMCA

Not to start a shit fit bullshit argument but your suggestions for the 86 are not correct.

The real Oz badges are as posted above GT and GTS with a Aero option for GTS, i was able to pilfer that info from Head office a few weeks ago. Chick sounded hot :party0030:

Aero option for GTS is awesome because that could mean dealers could order the aero package separate and add to car locally which means that god awful wing can be put in the trash or not even added if so desired.

No shit-fights here, I like I said its just a guess and as long as everyone else feels the urge to post unsubstantiated rumors as "confirmed facts" I will reserve the right to question them.

[COLOR="Orange"]It's still considered speculation, but since we've ruled out the first two, I'm pretty sure our GT is the same as the Japanese GT, and our GTS is equivalent to the GT Limited.

So u are saying we are getting the JDM GT as our base, GT with leather/suede as our high spec and then the full GT Limited as our high spec with aero??

So all our cars will have HID/LED, 17" wheels, fog lights, rear vertilated brake disc, push button start, duel zone climate control etc? U also realize audio equipments are optional extra in Japan on all the grades and G has automatic option (without LSD)??

Top stuff Netrosis keep it coming brother!

JFC 04-15-2012 07:38 PM

Yeah i think Netrosis might of been alittle confused about the japanese offerings.

If you read the info that was in the color brouchure it appears our base will be a Jap G but with added leather steering wheel and gear knob, but our high spec lines up directly with Jap GT.

This info is already on the net.

Nardi330 04-15-2012 08:53 PM

that's what i thought too JFC but as the fine print on the bottom says, subject to change closer to release......

i guess TMCA is not going to announce anything official until June so i'm open to any information or leaks. thanks Netrosis.

ps. you can option the leather steering wheel and gear knob for the JDM G.

Nardi330 04-15-2012 09:26 PM

but then this article says it will undercut the Golf GTI. which means below 39k + ORC.....
