im not saying it wont... it most likely will, to save money...

5 Days to go!

I hope Toyota price the car as everyone hopes. Otherwise the money I paid for these personalised plates will be a complete waste.

I find myself thinking along similar lines.

Work got a little quiet today. Just for fun and curiosity, I was checking where the phrase "toyota 86" is used the most.

mostly used in;

Country: Australia
City: Melbourne, Australia

Not to nit pick but the facebook page actually says approx 10am.


I would hate for someone to wait for 10am for the announcement when it could be be 10.04am, just so someone can come on here at 10.02am saying


"their fucking late"
