The battle of the hottest sports coupes to hit our roads this year continues with the allotments of Subaru's BRZ and Toyota's "twin", the 86, selling out before they arrived.
Due to interest on Toyota's website, the86.co.nz, where fans could register their interest, the company's first assignment of
120 cars were snapped up before the late-August launch.
Toyota NZ's marketing manager Neeraj Lala, told Driven that they had 20 confirmed buyers and 130 customers wanting to buy one of the three models - the 86, GT86 or Toyota Racing Development version.
"It's possible some customers will have to wait due to unavailability of colour or transmission, but their choice will be at the top of the queue for future arrivals," said Lala.
"We always knew we would have to manage our ordering when we decided to offer an extended model line-up for customers."
