Japan BRZ / 86 pre-order numbers - Page 3 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Hopefully this means we're going to see the 86 in production for a long time. Toyota wanted to start a new legacy with this car, I hope they succeed.

At this rate I don't think some people has a choice but to wait for the late 2013 and 2014 model. Might be possible for us here too in the states, I actually don't mind waiting alittle haha.

Is this pre-orders with an actual deposit or "pre-orders" as in signing up on a website?

Zaku · 01-20-2012, 11:24 AM

I don't think it works the same way over there as It does over here, usually the people are highly committed or they've already been taken to a test drive event, or to sit in the car or something over in Japan. So highly likely it's deposited. I might be wrong Im going from a past info when cousin pre ordered a Type R over there a couple years ago.

Wonder if Nissan executives are facepalming themselves releasing a FWD Altima coupe instead of a true RWD version and naming it the Silvia. No market for an affordable RWD coupe my arse...

ZetaVI · 01-20-2012, 12:53 PM

I hope that means high demand is a result of lower price. Doesn't always happen but I believe they will. I hope...

That's a lot for a car that's still 3 months away to the release date. I wonder how this number will grow a month after the release. I think CR-Z was 10k and Prius c is like 60k+? I hope it won't be that hard to get one in U.S...

Just to echo a few people here, this is good news for Toyota/Subaru, but bad for people who want the car as soon as it comes out.

I figured at best that there'll be a markup on them when they come out, but now I'm sure it will be at least until 2013 before a good number of us will even get to buy one.

Oh well, I figure that I wasn't going to buy one until a year and a half from now anyway. . .

Can't pre-order that way in Japan, you have to actually go in and sign up at the dealership.

It's a fairly large number, but the Japanese have a fairly large amount of disposable income in comparison to most other countries. From their viewpoint, the 2 to 2.4 million yen price range is cheap.

Are there any stats readily available to make such a comparison?
Would be interesting to see those CR-Z numbers and other new cars and how it may relate to the BRZ/FR-S/86.

tripjammer · 01-20-2012, 02:56 PM

Didn't they get like 20k pre orders for the Chevy Volt? Just saying.

But yeah. If you are wanting the FR-S or BRZ, you will have to preorder. Just because they are maybe making 13K units for Japan, does not mean they will be making that many for the states.

I think pre-orders and sales are completely different. Anyone with a few hundred bucks can pre-order with no obligation. Actually buying the car, that's a commitment you can't undo.
