I just searched cars produced at Magna Steyr and apparently the current cars are:
Mercedes-Benz G-Class 1979–present
BMW 5 Series 2017–present
Jaguar E-Pace 2017–present
Jaguar I-Pace 2018–present
All of which are from more luxury brands and would be expected to have good build quality...
For the UK I've been told that if you have a confirmed reservation there is going to be a "Supra Experience" likely in May. My dealer said it will likely be an event at a track or proving ground to try out the car. No idea when they will be available for regular test drives though. If you don't...
I just did a quick search on this, apparently the 991.1 Carrera had 345hp and 288lbft and weighed 1435kg. It's not a world away from the Supra. Sure that was the base spec, but even the Carrera S had less torque than the Supra and weighs the same as the Euro spec (1495kg if I remember right). It...
Oh wow that sucks! I haven't received an email like this (yet) and we both got confirmation at about the same time! Will just have to wait and see if I'm in the lucky 24 or not...
That said though, what they're offering is pretty good, a service plan is nice and the event invite sounds cool.
I...
Fake sound?
I was reading through the Toyota UK website and saw something interesting about the sound of the car:
The fact they are referring to "driving sounds" and not using phrases like "exhaust modes", along with the fact that this was in the "Cockpit" section of the site and not under...
Just saw on the website now that reservations are closed. Not sure if that means all 300 are now spoken for, or there have now been 300 reservation fees paid and just waiting to confirm the orders. I'd have thought the latter. as you can now join the waiting list so if people drop out then the...
The UK process asked you to choose a dealer at initial reservation which I did back in October and has been in the system since.
Exact same times here! 12:18 for confirmation too!
Is there not going to be an online order form for Germany? There was one for the UK, all emails were sent at around 12:16 (time I got mine) so everyone can have a chance. Seems a bit crazy that you would have to go in person to do it. All I had to do was click the link, paste in the reservation...
Yeah I think the reserve is there until end of March at which point it will automatically be refunded. The only rush was to get the A90 Edition so now they are sold out might as well wait for more info.
I asked my dealer the same thing. He said most likely, the worst they could do was keep the reservation fee but he thinks that's unlikely as none of us have seen the car let alone driven it before handing it over. I think it will be unlikely that you wouldn't get at least a portion of the ÂŁ1000...
That's good that you'll be able to do that, definitely the best way to go, saves on the interest too!
I'll be keeping it stock for the warranty period I'm sure but if I'm keeping long term I might get and exhaust or wheels but that will be about it. I wouldn't want to do too much to the limited...
Well, whether or not it's going to be worth it I've ordered the A90 Edition! Pretty excited but committing to over ÂŁ56k for a Toyota is making me nervous too! The finance examples on the website don't look too bad though.
I'm definitely not in the first 24 and I still think that would have been better. Or have the order confirmation only open to people that had reserved before the announcement on day 1, then day 2 opened it for everyone. At this point there is no benefit at all to have paid the ÂŁ1000 blindly in...
I feel that Toyota have really messed up with the UK. Comparing the US prices and launch trims and specs (love the white with red mirrors!) they have nailed it over there. The Supra in the UK costing more than the top spec Z4 will really impact sales of a car that already didn't have all the...
Quite interesting numbers, higher weight than rumoured and less power, but faster 0-60? Not quite sure how they've managed that. Potentially underrated performance in terms of numbers maybe. Will be interesting to see what one dynos at!
Looking at specs and looks I think I'll go ahead with my...
Do you know if these parts going to be available in all markets? From what I remember there were some parts available through dealers for the BRZ/FRS but these were only available in some places (US only?) and as far as I'm aware were never made available in the UK.
If this leak is accurate looking at the rumoured prices of the Z4 it looks as if the UK prices might be around ÂŁ45k for the launch spec, which if it is I think will be a decent price for it. If above ÂŁ50k it would be a bit much according to the rumoured specs imo.
