Here is the post I made last year: http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showp...&postcount=255

Having said that, I wonder if you can still custom-made your car with options and things and wait for it to come, or that you have to take whatever that is available and deal with it.
Yeah I was thinking back upon those conversations. While the details were off, it is amazing how the big picture was pretty spot on. Question is if Leeky was passed correct info (just details were wrong) and then Toyota/Subaru quickly cut the link and made sure that they corrected themselves and blamed it on "translation" issues. This could very well have been the plan all along with the production numbers.

You guys realize how long this car has been dragged out. From all the countdowns to auto shows, to reveals, to pre-ordering, to pricing. It is one long flirt. I doubt this was done by accident. This car has been production ready for close to 4 months now. Bet they have had pricing known for a while now. One big **** tease if you ask me.
