Something tells me I’ll never see a new 2800lb awd manual car come to the US. So, I’ll be able to import this about the time I retire. You guys over yonder keep one in decent condition for me!

Let me know which colour, whether you would like the 'track' spec. You can send over a holding deposit, I can use it for the next 25yrs before shipping over to you... I'll look after it as if it's my own..

I would seriously consider trading the FRS for this, hot damn.

Civic Type R is real close for me, but this is 300# lighter and less practical so I'm in.

I am thinking the same... Toyota GB won't give me any idea as to when the UK order books open.. They keep telling me to keep an eye on their blog!!! I don't have the time to keep checking their fucking blog.. I just want them to take my name down as a "person of interest".. But they won't!!

Yeah I hated trying to get a fucking dealership to sell me a car, literally the worst part about my FRS was trying to buy it, thanks for reminding me, the pain faded after 6 years.

But I think I could hold out for at least the second model year assuming there would be one. Ugh, why am I infected with lust for unicorns?

I wonder if anyone working for Toyota visits this Forum.. They would learn so much, get to understand how "normal" folk function, how they use their cars and buying experiences.
