Here is the text message I got from my rep: yeah not going to wait that long for a pipe dream lol...
"Realistically, as of right now we have petitioned your case for the 86, and Toyota has told me that we can get one, it might be the model of that year. They said 2021, not sure why they would skip a year, even with Covid in mind. " Sent from my Pixel 3 using Tapatalk

I wonder how much of that is serious and how much did they pull out of their backside... Honestly I wouldn't hold my breath for a Hakone. Either get a tS if you want the special bits or a base one if not.

It is also a one year special edition so even if there is a 2021 model year there is not probably going to be a Hakone. They didn’t get any such reply from Toyota and are blowing smoke up your ass. If they will not give you an actual order number (VON) or a VIN for an already made vehicle then they are not getting one for you. Don’t wait too long or you my not get a tS either and will be stuck with whatever colour and trim they can actually find.

I’ve seen a couple articles on places like edmunds that just talk about how there’s no new changes for the 2021 model year.
And another one from today that says the 2021 is available in Hakone Green and makes 217hp/177tq lmao https://www.carindigo.com/news/2021-...ivals-compared

They were saying that the upcoming EURO 6d-TEMP EVAP-ISC (DG) emission standard would make the import of the car into Europe impossible, thus the reason of the Final Version. Now it looks that they invested and made the necessary changes to pass the standard. Personally, I am really excited with this decision. I didn't like seeing the platform go away ... |
