I think you're being a bit ambitious. The 21st was a Sunday and the site will need to get updated by someone (I highly doubt Toyota has people working on Sunday in the office).

They both have their benefits. The advantage of the dubs is decent auto transmissions, comfort and space. They're easier to drive and quicker in day to day usage.

The 86 is great fun to drive but I've been turned off by the delay and like most people started looking at other options. In not a hater, in just not prepared to wait. Its not that good in my opinion.

Same mOnty, know you ordered before me but i do get p*ssed off when people who ordered August onwards already have confirmed production, seems Toyota see it as a 'Dealer' thing and not the customer!! Geez I'm glad I didn't order at a Dealership that already had 50+ in the queue!! I do know deliveries October/November at my Dealership relate to orders placed back in May - BUT, now having been pushed back from what started as October to now January and no confirmation, i'm wondering just what 'game' Toyota is playing!

Forget the online tracking you have everyone, it's maybe 2 weeks plus BEHIND the Toyota one

It's about 2 weeks behind until it hits our shores. From there it's about a day before it updates.

Status just updated for the first time a few hours ago, in line with that the dealer told me a few weeks ago. December prod, January delivery. So looks like they do only update web tracking around this time each month, but dealers know a lot quicker in system. Hope everyone else gets some good news.

Just got told that the stock controllers are getting the updated list tomorrow. So maybe some people will know a bt more than. Last time I spoke to the sales guy mine was going to be a Dec Prod/Jan Del, now he says it's a Jan Prod/Feb Del but this could change tomorrow. Jan production would suit me just fine.
