RE: Toyota GT86 vs Subaru BRZ: Blood Brothers
Discussion
The toyota car shown at Goodwood FOS before the release was a much better looking car than the ones built. I heard rumours that the deal was toyota can sell something like 4 times the amount of Subaroos in the UK, I think I read it on the internet or the SUN newspaper so it must be true.

How curious that a car built in the same factory but badged differently can carry different warranties and one has "supply issues", seems Subaru have shot themselves in the foot with that one!
There are no supply issues. There is purely the fact that Toyota stopped Subaru building any for any other market than the US for the last 10 months. Subaru did all the work, and were paid well for it, but had to take a back seat for the first few years to Toyota supply. This will change once the STI variants come in which have first dibs over the Toyota equivalent. Neither will be AWD, by the way.Edited by Ved on Friday 2nd August 20:44

A flick through the classifieds will show, these will soon be well within the target demographic reach though. They are being hammered in the trade.
7 month old well specced '86s (£28k new) with less than 5k on the clock are struggling to fetch £18k-19k.
Yes they were overpriced new imo and due to the fact they have not been too popular in the UK so far I think they will drop to around £12k at 3 years old...7 month old well specced '86s (£28k new) with less than 5k on the clock are struggling to fetch £18k-19k.
tless with the opinions of those who don't get it.
12.5k Is what they are offering as get guaranteed future value on a pcp contract. And With Toyota offers going on at the moment, you can get a brand-new car with satnav And leather for under 25k with 5 year warranty. Or you could go and get yourself a heavy front wheel drive hatchback with lower warranty and a 20k price.
I checked the detailed selling statistics from sweden. Jan to Jul 2013 resulted in 105 sold GT86/BRZ, which isn't that bad at all considered its pricing strategy here (its expensive, around 30k£+). To compare I give you some more numbers, Jan to Jul 2013: 911 105, Boxster 51, MX5 65, Nissan 370z 1, Cayman 27, Z4 30 etc...
Probably wont depreciate that quick, but as all other sports cars you can take the ferry over to the UK and buy them for peanuts after some years
I find the huge depreciation in the UK very interesting, considering its a pretty similar market to rest of Europe, except for driving on the wrong side.

Actually, we also drove on the right side up until the mid sixties here in Sweden (although still lhd cars). But some politicians were smart enough to change, even though it was chaos for some time
