OT - Anyone here have any experience with the Subaru/Toyota Twins - BRZ and GR86?

Yup, Attrell Toyota in Brampton. Sales guy is Wai, he introduced me to the dealer principal who is a huge car guy. Both very nice guys.
I took out a red manual transmission, it was the higher level car with leather and alcantara (like) interior and 18 inch wheels.
Super fun car. Can’t get over how much leg room it has.

I was literally emailing about this very example yesterday and now magically it is not available to even view at Attrell. Red and premium 6MT is exactly what I was looking for to test drive. I was in contact with Philip too. The sold example at Erin Park is also gone now too. Does anyone have any leads on where in the GTA I can see/drive a GR86 manual???
l’m not surprised the red one sold, but when I was there the other day speaking with Phil, I asked about lead time if I ordered one, and he said you can have one today if you want red!
Same day I went to a Subaru dealership and they did a system search and found an unsold grey one somewhere. I didn’t ask where it was thought. Still, I think a test drive is going to be tough to come by. I was fortunate - right place right time.

I think vetfever was right. I simply got lucky with my test drive and poof, a week later, the manual shows up and vetfever got a chance to test drive it. It's possible too many people are dropping in to test drive but I'm sure they will have no problems selling the GR86. I'd be surprised of the grey automatic base model I test drove is still on the lot.
Damn it. If it weren't for our wedding this year, I'd buy this. FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!(Please don't tell my fiancé that.)

I haven’t asked about stock at other dealerships yet. I did get to see a blue BRZ at Subaru in London. I really liked how the BRZ looked, and going by the videos I think I like how the GR86 looks even better. If anyone has any leads on one in a dealership this week in the GTA, please let me know!!

There is a red AT at the Toyota Dealer on Hwy 7 in Woodbridge. I think it's the base model...

I have a friend selling one in the spring. Trading it in, so sale would go through a dealership. 6 speed red brz. I believe it’s a 2021. Some light track time, but all maintenance is right on schedule. Used it as a daily commuting across the city. If you’re interested, I can get more details.

I'm sure he'll be very happy with what he gets for it though.

Well, I gave up trying to find a good 981 within my budget for the year and threw my list on a GR86 allocation, MT, Premium... Guess we'll see how it goes, but I'm really looking forward to it! Has anyone else here ordered one?

I’m also on the waiting list for the new Nissan Z which I may use as a DD if the price point isn’t too high. Not as compact as the BRZ, but it will have 400 hp.
I’m told the Z pricing will come out in May.

I am close to ordering one, although I will go the BRZ route as it’s more than $2k less money.

No luck on getting Attrell on budging on $2K?
