FT-86 to be named FR-S...

So in other works, it's a smart move for Subaru to pick up the scraps that Toyota cannot "fulfil" given both come out of the same factory.

So? Subaru Aus will get an allocation just as Toyota will. Every market for both Subaru and Toyota will get an allocation.
Of course we (and some RHD Asian markets) may get more cars if the takeup in double-dip recession UK is under expectations.

All the power to those that buy the Subaru one. Happy to see more of them on the road regardless of brands.

If the BRZ is in line with GTS pricing it'll do well. Really sounds like Subaru Aus resents having to sell it at all, which is a shame if they are trying to be a whitegoods manufacturer like Toyota has been for the last 20 years.

Anyone got any insurance quotes on these yet?

What octane petrol do these require?

Have a couple of questions.

I assume there is no room to negotiate with these things since they are in such high demand? Maybe score a set of car mats or free tank of fuel?

Also, dumb question but what is a balloon payment? I assume a lump sump payment meaning you aren't leasing the full amount of the vehicle?

Think I've decided on either gunmetal or white and need to call my accountant tomorrow regarding best way to purchase after I've spoken to dealer.

I also won't be handing money over before driving, tis madness.

I have bought two news cars both at 60k+ without having driven one let alone sat in one.

It is no big deal. If you are concerned sign a contract specifying that you need to fit comfortably in the vehicle prior to purchase.

Yes, the final payment is a lump sum.

98RON I think....

I was waiting for Damo to get back into the office.

I guess I sat in them quite a bit and seen them driven in anger so I'm not too fussed simply putting a deposit down.
