Toyota GR86 Is Already Sold Out In Some Places

The crazy state of the automotive markets has made it commonplace to see cars of all types selling wellabove their intended retail prices. New models are snapped up quickly, and many are left waiting or paying extra to get behind the wheel. That's looking to be the case with theToyota GR86, as buyers in the UK jumped on reservations as soon as they opened.

Toyota opened orders for the car at 10 am local time, and the entire allotment was gone just 90 minutes later. The automaker has no plans for an additional allocation for the country, thanks partly to its noncompliance with tightening crash regulations.

Though hope is slim now, buyers trying to get on the list earlier this week got a glimmer of hope from Toyota. Once initial reservations were exhausted, buyers could add their names to a cancellation waiting list. Toyota said it would base the order of the list on the customers' access times, with earlier visitors given priority.

Here,Toyota sells the 86in two trims, but buyers in the UK can only choose between a manual or automatic transmission. Even so, the cars are well equipped out of the box, with 18-inch wheels, an eight-inch touchscreen, blind-spot monitors, and LED adaptive headlights. The automatic transmission was a £2,090 option.
