I actually wondered about that myself. When I look at where the braces are, I can't help but think it's mostly for aesthetic purposes and extra support for front mounted aero pieces. Adding rigidity to the corners so it doesn't get pulled down by a splitter.
Braces that aid in suspension...
Awesome! I've ordered a blue A91 and I think black tips will look good with the black wheels, the rear quarter stripes and the carbon options.
Now it's just hoping the catback measurement stays the same since it's getting a different engine o_O
I have a signed contract. I don't foresee any problems. I've bought 3 cars from them before without issues. I doubt anything will happen. And if it does, there's 999 more of them to buy ;)
Yellow "new" one I drove today had 1012 miles. All their test drives are done with that one. The others are all at delivery miles they told me. I'm guessing around 7 also
Other than the phantom matte gray, I could take any color home for 53k. All premiums with carbon fiber covers, driving package, you name it. In 4 months I bet you can get them for even less.
Yeah, my dealer already offered me a 2020 today at a significant discount. He has SEVEN sitting on his lot right now. 2 white, a black, a red, a silver, a yellow and a phantom matte gray. By the time the '21 are actually getting delivered, the leftovers will be going for a steal.
I'm ok with $60k. My guess it's the price of a 2020 LE plus the price of the CF mirror caps and spoiler. If that's $60k, so be it. I'm getting more horsepower, improved suspension, the CF pieces, exclusive paint color, the Alcantara interior, and so on, for what I'm expecting to be around that...
MSRP means MANUFACTURER suggested retail price. Dealer can't change that. If Toyota says MSRP is $58k, that's what it is. That's why dealers add to it under Adjusted Market Value or something to that extent. They cannot change MSRP. A lawyer would have a field day with that lol.
Ordered my A91 edition in Refraction Blue, for MSRP. Dealership was fantastic. Took a yellow one on a test drive, twice, sat in a black and a phantom matte gray, which they discounted, but I want the '21 in blue.
And now, we wait.
