Just saw one for the first time in the flesh/steel!!
I've had a black GT86 ordered/reserved since December at my local Toyota where I currently have an Avensis from... Ive been told Aug 2nd-Aug 8th is likely (that's what "mid-August" means these days...
) . I've been lurking on these forums almost daily since last summer snivelling away in the shadows, but never posting... till now...
The guy there texted me saying they're getting the demonstrator models throughout the country in this week and they'd just had theirs delivered - so I promptly legged it from work and bundled down there to see it and OGLED
for a good half hour.
The dude was great, even though they shut at 6pm and I got there at 5.55pm due to traffic, he let me sit inside, start the engine up and rev it like a maniac, play about with the seats and fire the lights up... leaving me with a giant goofy smile on my face... and these pics (that I secretly had to take later from inside my car, to prevent myself looking like a complete geek - so sorry about the rain). Will hopefully get to test drive one this weekend!
(Am considering bunking work to test drive it tomorrow after sitting in it!
)
The interior was very nice, though the touch and go didnt sit completely flush with the dash, which made me a little downcast. But the dials/digital numbers etc on the air con controls are a lot larger than they look in the pictures. The headlights are menacing and will definitely cause some head turns and people to move over on the roads
Hope these pics look ok. They don't do justice to the car. The boot was a lot smaller than i expected - gonna travel light from now on!
If I test drive, will post later with impressions, if anyone is interested.
