The thing is why put on a stupid sticker price when even those with a few k of overs added are not selling!
There is no need to pay more than £50k for a new one and come spring imo list will be achievable for a new car

Because as I put above they can’t actually sell the car. But some badly dressed sales guy thinks this will drum up sales.

I just missed a call from unknown / withheld no.
Got a voicemail saying Bernie from Toyota ballot team - basically more cars available so offering out.

Naturally I’m sceptical of this but still quite fancy one. Stupidly they don’t leave a number so cant ring them back! Apparently they will follow up with an email but nothing through yet.

Was wondering if anyone can share indicative pcp details / rate?

Cheers

Same here but after a red one, which appear to be rare as hen's teeth!

Black is definitely the worst colour. Red doesn't look great in pics but looks great in the metal.

White though, that's the one.

Disagree completely. Black>white>red for me. The black is an amazing colour in the sun. Purples, coppers and silvers shine through. So much so, it was my least fave until I was at a car show and saw one close up. Then had to buy one.

I would go red, black if I had to and white last resort.

So interesting the colour choices, I'm still surprised Toyota only offered the 3 and not a Grey or something a bit more lively. Glass it didn't though for the Chav effect.

Personally apart from the Batmobile and A-Team Van I think Black hides all the lines and basically makes it look like a blob. But I guess if you want to blend in then that's ideal. Takes all sorts I guess.

What a car! Who else is doing anything as remotely interesting. Absolutely no-one.

Not sure hat happened with the formatting then.

Going for white as well, as it is the only primary colour that accentuates the GRY's shape - but then I am biased.

Black is the most incognito colour, and just blends in, esp with the carbon roof - as such, it was my first choice. It wasn't meant to be, however, and I ended up with a red '22 CP.

At the end of '21 I ended up securing a cancelled white CP. 30 mins after putting down a deposit, I received a call from another dealership offering a black CP. Decided it wasn't worth the aggro to renege on white, so declined.

In Jan '22, I get a call from the dealership that had my deposit, saying there had been a mistake, and the car I had a deposit on was a non-CP

They couldn't promise if they'd be able to get me a CP, but I told them to keep the deposit and try. They ultimately came through and got me a red CP in Aug '22.

No need to choose a single colour, just go for black, white and red altogether

Even in the US where it's the GRC, the alternatives are the Golf R, WRX and that's about it. Add in the CTR and Integra Type-S, Elantra N, but FWD only.

I've had a Yaris GRMN and a GR-Yaris in red ... great cars. The GRMN did a 2:12 around Oulton Park and worried a few Porsches ... until the front brake pads ran out after 75 miles !

I bought a series of GA** ZOO registration numbers when Toyota first came up with the Gazoo concept ...

Sorry, not allowed.

Pearl white for me. The red was a close second. It looks good in the sun when polished up but the rest of the time it’s dull so I chose not to go down that route given the weather in the UK. Plain white if you want to put white wheels on and get the rally look, black hides too much of the design detail imo.

I think all Mk2 are circuit packs as hardly anyone bought the non-circuit pack cars.

I got my red car cermaic coated a few days after collection so its much easier to maintain. I think it looks fantastic.
