TOP GEAR Aus Magazine + RELEASE DATE

First of all sorry if this is a repost, I haven't been on in a while and I searched but found nothing...

So I was reading the articles about the 86 and BRZ in the Australian version of Top Gear magazine... The text is almost identical to the version posted up already (which is the UK one i believe) but there a few extra lines of text here and there. For example (from pg 66):

"In the US, the Toyota 86 will sell for about $25000. But because Australia is viewed by foreign car makers as Treasure Island, we will pay closer to $40000 when it goes on sale on the eighth of June 2012 (Get it? 8/6?)."

It goes on to say that they're hoping it priced closer to $35000...

I dont have a scanner but as I said it's pretty much the same as the one already up. Different pics though. I haven't finished reading but if I find any other interesting points I'll post them up.

EDIT: So here's a pic of the 86 interior for the Aus version. Sorry for the rubbish quality but it's the best I could do with my phone.
Attached Images
