Tcoat, you should have known I'd be right about this. Therefore, you would have a head start making plans for your big switch to Team Green!

The only reason I said it wouldn't come here was because I wanted it too. It was more a way of letting myself down easy than a prediction just in case!
With the elimination of the Lava I was truly wondering what colour the replacement would be so this is great news.

The 2020 Toyota 86 Hakone Edition coming to US

Love the color and tan seats, but the rest of the interior looks like left overs from the 860 (black and orange trim).

What bothers me the most is that they carried over all the blacked out trim EXCEPT for the track mode/TC off buttons. WTF Toyota...

I was considering maybe financing this car, but no brembo = no bueno. Seems silly, but it's honestly a let down to have such a nice limited model with stock machined grey cast calipers.

Not a green car fan... but I def liking this green. Would I trade my car to get this? Maybe...

Well, if I would get that car in BRG, that would be my last sports car and complete the circle with my first sports car -

OTOH, there should be a minimum price increase over a GT with few content upgrades to speak of.

Love the color combo, wheels and even the retro head unit that isn't gathering data to report back to Toyota and 3rd parties (I think).

With proper tires, TRD sways and upgraded brake pads, it would be quite the stylish DD and occasional track day tool, lighter and quicker than a TRD 86.

Gotta hand it to Toyota for creating new SE's nearing expected buildout.

Hey!


"Everyone that purchases an 86 Hakone Edition will receive a pair of tan key gloves and folio cover with a debossed 86 logo and black stitching."


What more do you want?

First Japanese car I owned was BRG. Not quite a sports car though.

Well I guess I will buy two, and import one to TCOAT up in da very far nordh.


But I digress, I just painted my project coupe(see sig) an Audi Q5 special order green. Can one have to many green cars?


PS-I don't believe we get the leather seats either which pisses me off. I wanted to put diff rims on it and try and make it more "up-scale"

Based on the GT trim so will have heated black granlux inserts with tan leather trim.

Well depending or where you mean in Wi/Mn as your location there is about a 99% chance I am well south of you. I will await delivery regardless.
