Yeah seriously this experimental styling BS they're doing on the premium wheels should have just stayed an experiment and never made it into production and the 16" wheel style should be the 17s.

Can anyone translate this Yen figure that appears next to the SWP color option?
the swp exterior color is an "option" in japan [and maybe other places, iono?]; 31,500yen [about $400] extra, to be exact...

Also just got the gt86 brochure in the post yesterday bit no firm prices from Toyota apart from the 25k Gpb that was released on here a couple of days ago

MBz/BMW and the like charge extra for their metallic paints...

if you are talking about a single color that is more than the others, i can think of the super silver for the godzilla [gt-r], but that's about it...

Yeah, sorry wasn't too clear. But what you responded with, was basically what I was asking.

Hmm never knew that about MBz/BMW, but then again, they're mostly out of my price segment

Ever priced out a Porsche? Their metallics are extra as well. Germans like to get you with the options.
