A lot of people aint gonna appreciate a car like this and it's sad
I disagree.
A look at the sales for each Toyota and Lexus model reveals something peculiar. The
Toyota GR 86 and Toyota Tundra are the only two models
(in total, not individual trims and versions within the same model series, as seen in the second graph below with the electrified variants) where sales have increased this year over last year. Sales of the second-generation GR 86 have spiked by 824.2 per cent from the 1,044 units sold last year to 9,691 units sold this year.
Toyota sales have dropped 15.6 per cent in the U.S. compared to the same time in 2021

Alongside another new Corolla model (want to place a bet on how many variants we'll see of this popular nameplate in the next couple of years?), the
Corolla Cross, the GR86 can boast its best March in history, with the RAV4 Hybrid and

The little sports car that could is the star of Toyota's lineup right now.

Toyota Australia has secured around
1100 units of the new
GR86 coupe for the first 12 months of sales – which is unlikely to come close to matching demand if history is any kind of guide.
Due to launch in September, the second generation of Toyota’s rear-drive, naturally aspirated sports car will –
like basically every other Toyota right now – therefore become subject to wait lists.
“We have secured a stock of about 1100 cars for the first 12 months. And as with all GR performance cars, we expect demand will outstrip supply,” Toyota Australia vice president of sales, marketing and franchise operations Sean Hanley said this week.
To contextualise this, the old (non GR-badged) 86’s record year of sales was 6706 units in 2013, about six-times what the initial allocation will be this time around.
Keen on the new Toyota GR86? Just 1100 units are expected to come here over the first year, so you'd better talk to a dealer or three, pronto.
