So realistically you can pick up an AUTO GTS for < 40K drive away!

Man it's going to be good or bad, but at fucking least it's going to happen. I have been following this car for so long (I can't remember any more but I think a while before I joined this forum), and so far Toyota has not disappointed. They have not disappointed in aesthetics, they delivered exactly what their initial concept promised, they hit all their targets in design, and they kept the price in USA and Japan near to what initial estimations were. I just hope, and have faith that Toyota Australia does not disappoint with prices
My guess is GT MT for 33K drive away and GTS MT for 37K drive away
Let's watch history unfold, because Monday ~10am est (or is it daylight savings?) will make or break this beautiful machine

Realistically if I bought this in an auto I'd want to shoot myself.

There were still a few available GTS auto in SA as of Friday.

You realise that the auto gearbox is actually very good (from the IS F), also manual for those who live in urban city areas (Sydney nightmare traffic) who will also use this as a daily driver (manual makes no sense)..

So now, I guess the question that remains is: Will we see mark-ups like the Americans have been seeing?

I bloody well hope not

Markups are illegal in Aus no? As in they can't sell above RRP

I was waiting for fb page to update and when it did I had to look twice. Was expecting a 3 but saw a 2! I think there will be a delay for the car for some time now (unless you settle for auto).
