Beyond the S58 idiocy, it was a fairly good guess Toyota would adopt the GRMN moniker. I wonder why they didn't. And as stupid as GRMN sounds, whoever thought calling a trim "partially upgraded" needs to take some meds. :crazy:
It's because the English press release is a direct translation of the Japanese version, which is here. I deal with Japanese documents for a living (corporate attorney) and, as strange as it sounds, the same expression reads perfectly fine in Japanese context.

We'd think a huge corporation like Toyota would have someone competent translating press releases, but... ?‍♂

Going to assume that is something that didn't translate into English well.
This is what I assumed happened. I’m thinking the partially upgraded version will be called something like the A90 Final Edition in the states.

Ah. This makes perfect sense. Still dumb as shit though. ?

In Australia the partially upgraded has just as comically been called, "Track Edition."

Matte black is neat. Otherwise it looks like easy mods that many people have already done.
So they did a downpipe and tune, ?
Yes, I think some people already have their version of the "final A90," including myself, minus the seats and the spoiler, lol.
