GR86 Ridge Green Limited

The one in the photo looks like it should have a big star on the door and a staff flag flying on it. You know, like this....



Heck, I might prefer to have this one.

Looks like a very different colour, and not for the better. The new green is very dull looking as you say. What a shame.

Toyota.com has updated the website with official pricing!



Now here's hoping the graft doesn't get too high.

I reached out to a couple of dealers (in Texas) and they say their internal system still doesn't show anything about being able to order.

Searching inventory on the Toyota site there are a few Hakone allocations out there now, estimated delivery in December for the ones I can see.

[Stephen W.]

It’s listed on the Toyota Canada website for $41,705.08 before options, taxes etc. On the US Toyota website it’s $35,270. (With today’s exchange rate that makes the US Hakone $48,289.74 CAD. Or going the other way, that makes the US price $31,457.22 in Canadian funds.)
One BIG, I mean HUGE difference. The US site shows and states the interior is black and tan. The Canadian site shows black and RED! Plus, there is no description.
Not being the metallic green like the Gen 1 version was hard to take. But, if the Canadian cars come with that red well, it’s just a bridge too far!

Well, at least you'll be ready for the Christmas parade!

That combo is not just a bridge too far, it may be a planet too far.

I do wish the green wasn't quite so flat, but it's not bad.

As far as "flat but still got some shine" british racing green's go, this special edition MINI from I think 2009 absolutely nailed it.

Well, I put in a refundable $1000 deposit with a written guarantee of MSRP. The GM of the dealer claims it will lock in the allotment for their location. We'll see what happens.

It's kind of crazy that it's within less than $2k of what I paid for my FRS back in 2012 when adjusted for inflation.

Who cares about tcoat, it was his decision and so his loss. This however, may bring me back to the twins. But that’s a BIG maybe as the wife now wants a bucket list car of her own and I am not into matte finishes.

I feel as if I missed something here.... 'Who cares about tcoat, it was his decision and so his loss', what happened?

BTW - still have by BRZeeeee, July 24 was its 10th B'day.. 17K on the clock.. Still enjoy it and it still draws attention.. possibly because there aren't many about in the UK.. Circa 1k BRZeeees were sold in the UK.. 2nd gen not for sale here.

I almost bought an orange 2017 when I ended up with the asphalt grey. The Toyota dealer had it sitting in the showroom with 6-7k markup of TRD bits, wheels, exhaust, springs etc.
They wouldn't budge of the price. Saw the car a year later and the guy ended up getting it at MSRP, lucky dog!

My understanding is that something went down in a thread that I was not following. Tcoat was either given a timeout and decided to not return or left on his own. Either way he hasn’t posted in over a year. Perhaps I’m taking this too personally but to me that was a FU to the rest of us who did enjoy his input even if we didn’t agree on some issues. At least one member on here along with his spouse is still in contact with Tcoat and his Mrs. Perhaps he’ll chime in.

I for one couldn't stand that guy.

The reason the "ignore" feature was created.
