For me, this is all going to come down to whether Toyota UK are going to keep to the base philosophy of this car - which for me is a car that you can truly make your own. I think Toyota JP agree with me on that front.
If Toyota UK are not going to embrace that idea, and not offer the same options as other markets and at believable prices, I'll be waiting until they reach half RRP before picking one up and going shopping in Japan.
I have my doubts about this considering Toyota UK's current line up and where they seem to be putting themselves in the market. Which is why I want to be sure about it. So, unfortunately that means I won't be an early adopter, because I'll be looking at the supercharged car with many TRD options. I could buy a base spec car from the dealership and upgrade it myself over time, and in some senses, I would prefer to go this way, but for warranty purposes on a new car, I can't do it.
I went into one of my local Toyota Dealerships yesterday and I think there were two members of staff there. The guy that came out of his office to chat didn't know anything about the car other than what's been in the magazines and that he's expecting to see them in June.
I realise I should manage my expectations and I know I'm spoilt, because I'd just been to pick up my 911 from it's MOT, and its a vastly different experience over there!
Cheers,
Coanda
