Just heard about a horror story of a red one involved in a 3 car pile up near William Nicol - front and back apparently... If you're reading this - we feel your pain...

there is an Orange High Spec at Toyota in Standerton, if you like

Orange (unknown spec) available in Nelspruit.

Seems like Orange isn't popular?

It appears everyone has gone for the colours that the original FT-86 concepts were painted and not the wild orange as featured in the TV advert and launch pics.

The fact that there is a high spec that has not been sold probably proves your theory.

I must be honest, I've seen 2 orange ones on the road and the colour doesn't really do it for me. It's not as bright as it looks in all the pics.

Vic_RSA · 11-27-2012, 10:13 AM

That and every 2nd ST and 350Z is in a similar hue... We drive Toyota's... (well the badge says Toyota at least LOL) :P

sav · 11-27-2012, 10:24 AM

Yep, the ST is a very different orange though. The 86 is almost closer to copper but either way, it's not for me.

I'm glad I got the colour I wanted but crazy as it may sound, here is the list in order of preference that I've given the dealer:

White
Red
Orange
Silver
Walking

I'm not sure what I was thinking placing orange 3rd on my list.

I signed for a red one, but I have been waiting for three months

sav · 11-27-2012, 11:16 AM

High or std?

I gave 3 options because I didn't want to wait, so whichever of those became available I would have taken. 3 Months is quite a wait but then the numbers are limited so I guess there is not much else you could do.

I like the other colours but I've promised myself I would never buy another dark coloured car.

i concur, the orange is not as vibrant as in the brochure and TV add, its actually quite dull!!!

Vic_RSA · 11-27-2012, 12:11 PM

Maybe everyone was scared of getting that actual car from the advert... These cars feel a bit soft and polystyrene wall was mean! Wonder how many takes (and walls) were required...

Nah, no cars were hurt in the making of the ad. I know the people who made it.
