I'm going to order one on Monday. Manual, Sapphire Blue Pearl (which I think is the UK version of Trueno Blue in the US version).
I'm going for this over a Yaris.
Am I mad?
No. I think the 86 will prove to be more fun more of the time. Plus I'm getting a bit long in the tooth to be driving a banzai rally rep.I'm going for this over a Yaris.

Financially the Yaris arguably makes more sense because it is unlikely to depreciate, however most of us buy cars to enjoy them and sod the depreciation! So the GR86 is the better choice I reckon, because it will be more fun for more of the time. I'm going for this over a Yaris.

I'd also go for the 86 hands down over the Yaris. It's just much more my sort of vehicle.

I think the limited supply and stellar reputations of both cars makes either a great buy, depreciation-wise.
For me though, they could lose money like a sanctioned oligarch and I'd still want one
I think it’ll do well, I note that there are 2020 GT86’s up for £30k on AT and one at £32k!For me though, they could lose money like a sanctioned oligarch and I'd still want one

I can imagine. Its a shame. I think dealers that share this kind of information do it in good faith, they dont have to.
Then some idiot goes and spreads it all over the internet.
It was a dealer who posted the dealer launch pack online using his name. Not hard for Toyota UK to issue a telling off. Then some idiot goes and spreads it all over the internet.

Online orders only I’m told? So you might not be at the front or any queue?
