There is an option to make special orders... Though I suggest you drive both and try the automatic in both modes to better decide... Last night I met member ft86-UAE and saw his friends turbo'ed 86.. I drove his automatic 86 in sport mode and I take my word back about that auto being dull..

Also, here is another glimpse about the turbo 86:

Strange.. They told us during the launch day that they are open for any special orders..

I will contact the marketing dept, asap, and discover if they tell me something I am not aware of..

You know how UAE dealerships are.....

He is on it now, thu he is not into photography but hopfully he'll have good ones. How about a story of my ex 86.

Damn, I want an 86 again. I have few 86 friends but non want to sell me his (on of them have a gcc spec 86 and will convert it to RHD makes me feel sad as the gcc spec is so rare and he want to just spoile it!)

Oh, and I just bought a 07 GDF so clean and virgin has only 50k km's



This will be my own toy for now (and I still look for ae86/r30/r31 as a JNC) I just still in love with 80s and 90s J's

I want another 86 too but damn no luck yet! I have one ticket to import one car from outside and its gonna expire soon (Jan 2013)
