Welcome to the forum @AyoRory.For what it's worth, I work with OEMs and keep contact with multiple dealers in the Northwest. There is still little to no news on when the GR86 will arrive on dealer floors. November is definitely out of the question. December is a long shot. I think people can realistically be looking at February when deliveries begin to happen. No dealers in my area have received any information and aren't comfortable with me placing a deposit.
I really hope it's sooner. I'm going to have to be daily driving a gutted car starting next month as I'm selling my daily in preparation for the 86. Almost thought of just going the BRZ route just to get the vehicle sooner.
Yeah and are there certain items you want on the car? I hate how you can't build a GR86 and they get whatever they get is what you can buy, I want certain parts so I'm probably going to be waiting forever or I guess I could always order what I want from them and have them install it or somethingI think if you need a car right away, you should probably go for the BRZ. I don’t think there will be significant differences between the 2 cars.
I was just reading that the chip shortage is going to last until 2023. I gave my dealer a deposit for the GR86 in September. He said it was in their system, but I haven’t gotten any updates.
What is... patience?

No. If the sound system is craopy like a lot of people on the Supra forum said their’s is, I’d probably upgrade the speakers, but not all 8.Yeah and are there certain items you want on the car?

What color are you getting???No. If the sound system is craopy like a lot of people on the Supra forum said their’s is, I’d probably upgrade the speakers, but not all 8.
I have some after-market wheels picked out. I’d also do a ceramic coat and a partial clear bra to protect the paint, and a window tint, since I’m in CA. The GR86 will be my daily driver.
That’s going to look good in the California sun with tintTrack bRed
What about you? How are you gonna spec your car?That’s going to look good in the California sun with tint
My choices originally were Trueno blue, Black, or white premium. But with this delay and knowing my dealership might only get a couple colors at the end of the year I’m probably going to get white. Idea in general was tint and some GR parts to start, maybe HKS aero down the road if it’s subtle enough.What about you? How are you gonna spec your car?
Nice, I think they sound system should be fine, I hear it's pretty good or decent at least.No. If the sound system is craopy like a lot of people on the Supra forum said their’s is, I’d probably upgrade the speakers, but not all 8.
