Reading "860" just makes me feel awkward.

Why add the zero? :|

even for the plebian pre-Toyota '13-'16.

mrderp I also find it disappointing that Toyota wont give us the PP. I almost typed that with a straight face.

We can't even get PP on the BRZ in Canada!

how many nations are screaming for the PP?

Sounds weird to me too, but must be because the production number for each of the two colours will be 860 according to the press release article.

They could have thought of a better name.

Well the 2017 advertising ploy is "only 8,600 made" so somebody in the Toyota Marketing Department must have a thing for zeros.

Oh crap! Last time the Japanese had a thing for Zeros it didn't go well.

All except the US and Japan fro the looks of it.

Shinchu · 03-13-2017, 02:10 PM

yeah we have PP by the truckload in the USA. Japan too, I guess. I mean, they have a special pink train car to avoid the PP.

Overall, still like these European option stripes better.

Mostly. Pretty much all of the nowadays car companies built some sort of aircraft though.

Yes. It isn't the stripes I don't like it is how they are done. Looks like somebody spilt some ink on the hood and it just blew bat across the car.

Canada wants the PP.

I mean, it's almost as if Marketing knew we'd call it the PP.

Then again, I'm just waiting on the warranty to expire to go mod happy. I shouldn't complain that they're not giving me an upgrade path.

I don't remember if there was a PID for oil temp available for use in Torque. I guess I need to get the dongle out and check.
