Toyota 86

[FSI 220]

Was gonna say its a little supra-esque isn't it

Yeah, don't know, it is close ... in size and intent, but the shape is a little different ... if you got a citation I reckon you would have 50/50 in front of the magistrate....

I called them on Friday to arrange an appointment to test drive one. I went in on Saturday at Brighton Toyota, he asked if I was going to order it and I said I wasn't sure, I wanted to test drive it first. His response was unless I order it before the test drive I can't test drive it. Of course he didn't say this on the phone, I called the manager at the dealer he said the same thing. Funny thing was I was actually considering it as a viable replacement to my GTI until he said that. I walked straight out.

wow, thats a horrible attitude. How are people going to make up their minds if they cant have a go?

That attitude reminds me a of a few Volkswagen salespeople. Their cars were flying off the showroom floor, so they felt they didn't need to bother with undecided buyers.

Not surprised the same thing is happening with the 86, as the waiting list for one just keeps getting longer...

I got the same attitude when I went to look at a golf r... How are they expecting to make sales like that

It's because they're doing so well that they don't feel the need to chase every customer for a sale.

One guy on ozaudi was saying his mate went to BMW and was ignored and then went to Mercedes and bought 3 high end cars and took the proof of purchase to the BMW dealer who then offer a very good deal but he rejected it

Goes to show you that you don't know who your rejecting

They probably have a LOT of people who just come to take it for a spin who arent actually interested in buying one, just want too see what its like. So I can see both sides of the story, although I don't like the way theyre going about that. I definitely wouldnt be putting a deposit down on a car I can't test drive first if I was in the market for a new car.

That's certainly the salesman's loss at least.

I'll wait for these beauties to show up .... rumoured to be off now rumoured to be on again.

VW 2.0T (TSI and TDI) RWD and much better looks than the 86 twins.






Can we start the petition now to get these gorgeous ladies to Australia?

Last i read the bluesport project was canned and porsche just announced they are having no part of it as it would water down their brand image.

Looks good, maybe a bit better the 86 twins, but mostly because it's just different.

Actually, it's not the most inspiring design if you ask me.

VW came back and said project is still on ..... Porsche said on 22 June 2012 (last week) is not canned but due 2017 for them ..... I can only hope ....

[Ryan_R]

Yeah they do look great! Remember seeing the concept being drooled on by TopGear not too many seasons ago

Spot on Sharkie! There is nothing worse than an arrogant Toyota sales person, this must be rectified fast!
