I guess they're basing allocation numbers on the number of cars sold previously but did the US really buy 43 times more cars of the previous generation? The lack of information is really aggravating.

I did a little checking on our respective national AutoTrader sites this aft. Across the USA there are a total of 320 GR86s listed for sale (new cars, 2023 MY). Across Canada there are precisely 0. That's a ratio of ∞:1

Out of curiosity I looked at 4Runners (all versions) and found over 3000 listed in the US, and only 77 listed in Canada, which works out precisely to 40:1.

This makes me wonder if it's Toyota Global shafting Canada, or if it's Toyota Canada just not caring enough to bother with the 86 and instead just bringing in all the Tundras, Tacos, Sequoias, RAV4s, etc that they can. Bigger price tags = much higher profit margins I'm betting.

Side note: the USA has 158 BRZs listed, while Canada has just 8. So 20:1 for those.
