2012 is too long of a wait

[MtnDrvr86]

2012 is fine for me. I wont graduate college till May 2011 so it give me time to find a real job before hand

get a bike for now.

I kinda wish it was coming out Spring 2011, I will have my truck paid off sometime this year and will be able to save additional moneys along the way for an FT-86 down payment. I will continue to wait on making any moves until we see some official specs on the car. If turns out to be $25k and as slow as the Gen Coupe 2.0t than i'll buy something different but if it turns out to be what they claim it will than i'll keep waiting.

and then...TOYOTA terminates the ft-86 project!!! then the world does end in 2012?!?!!?

kind of off topic here but the world will not end in 2012. stop being so naive and listening to whatever the internet tells you.

NASA already claimed that they see nothing ANYWHERE around earth thats coming toward us. If there was, they would have seen it LONG ago

Take some advise from a guy that waited 2 years for his sky redline (opel speedster for those across the pond). It won't be all sitting around twiddling our thumbs waiting for the day. A year prior to the showroom date which is apparently in early 2012(I would assume january) we will all be scrambling for our local toyota dealerships to get on waiting lists to insure we don't miss out and get charged ridiculous fees. By then, they will have shown the final version of the FT-86 and "leaked out" interior options, exterior paint colors, optional packages and different versions. Toyota still has plenty of things to throw at us to keep us going over the next few years. So sit back, keep your typing hands warm, and enjoy.

yes off topic somewhat. I in no way believe that the world will end in 2012. they said the would would end a million times already and we're still here. but the world would end for many if they keep pushing back to production of the ft-86. i might go buy a mr2 while i wait.

Are you saying you'd buy the car without driving it first?

Not sure if I could do it, no matter how great it sounds.. I think i'd have to drive it first.. The only cars I ever bought without driving were inexpensive and of which I wasn't buying purely for the driving experience, but I would have to drive a car like this, especially something new, before dropping the $20k...

Well there are plenty of people who buy cars without test driving them. Say for example the new Civic Si released back in 2006, you couldn't even test drive them because they were all pre-ordered long back. Each manufacture has their own hardcore fans. They know what they are buying and the potential of the machine. (At least I hope so lol)

It doesn't work quite like that. When you get on a waiting list you put down a set amount (the sky redline required $1000). When your number comes up you have the option of ordering or passing. If you order, then you automatically forfeit your $1k. You can still reject the car when it gets to the dealership and test drive it, but you lose the $1k.

That'd be a tough decision. I'm not sure I even want the first year, I don't even upgrade my OS until they hammer out kinks and all.. buuuuuuut I really want this car.

nah im perfectly fine with waiting, i wont have any money to throw down 'TIL 2012 lol so while the anticipation is terrible, i dont have a choice either way

I hope Toyota brings us this car by 2011 or earlier.
