Toyota FT 86 Price

[riccardo]

According to recent reports from the UK, the Toyota FT-86 price will be considerably higher than previously anticipated. The production version of the Toyota FT-86 will arrive in showrooms next year and it's price in Japanese showrooms was expected to revolve around the 15,000 EUR mark.

However, recent developments say the Toyota FT-86 price could start at around the 17,000 EUR mark with the top of the range model going over the 19,500 EUR level. We'll just have to wait and see what happens, but if the Toyota FT-86 price will go this high, the much expected, low price, entry level, sports car might disappoint the original, targeted market segment.

What is that in US dollars?

[Cal]

25,200 and 28,900 respectively. However vehicle prices aren't the same in all countries as they have to account for exchange rates. I expect pricing similar to the genesis coupe.

[supraru]

Well, I'm just glad they made it affordable to us poor people.

[modifiedMR]

riccardo> i feel the same way. the original point of this car was affordable fun. it's not as affordable as it should be.

[ProZach626]

With car prices going up as they have been, I would think this car is going to be around 26-27. I say this, because I've been doing a lot of car shopping with my fiance, lately. You can't even get a honda civic, hyundai elantra, chevy cruze or ford focus for under 20k, anymore. That is unless it's completely bare bones. All of these types of cars are stickering for around 21-23k with options, so I would imagine a performance oriented car such as this would have to be at least over 25k.

im gonna agree

[brifri]

wow i live in canada, so if its gonna cost 26-27k in US then its probly 27-28k in canada, thats more expensive than a mustang...
Im looking at buying a sports coupe within the next year, and I was really looking forward to the ft 86, but now they r saying its gonna b a scion in the Americas? and if its that expensive....

New focus base model starts at 16k msrp, so does the cruze. Elantra base model is 14K.

I just priced out an R-spec genesis with just floor mats and a spoiler and it was 25K msrp. With dealer bs might be able to knock that down to 23K. Priced out a base model and it was 23K same options. So maybe 21K new.

It just depends on the options you get.

[goshamrocks13]

It's probably going to be around $25000...Scion wouldn't want to make it so expensive it would turn people away from buying this, but either way I can't wait for this to be released

[topcat]

Looks like it's going to be around £28000 in the UK, but my local dealer can't tell me what it'll cost me in €. I reckon over here, it'll be priced around the same as a Mk6 VW Golf GTI ie €45-50k. Including taxes. Which is nasty.

Well, I thought Subaru mentioned they were going to be priced at 24,500 msrp

Editor-in-Chief Ed Loh is currently tearing up Japan in the new 2013 Subaru BRZ and was tweeting his findings earlier. Chief among them is the starting price for the 2013 BRZ. When we first spoke to Subaru reps for our First Look, they told us the BRZ would cost about as much as the Impreza WRX. Bossman Loh got more out of Subaru reps, who estimate the base BRZ Premium will start at around $24,000, while the BRZ Limited will sticker for about $27,000. We’ll get more solid pricing information as the U.S. launch nears.

(begin rant)...

Initial reports were that this car was going to come in at an amazing 18-19k, but since then the car has increased a whopping 40% in cost.on top of that the Scion variant wont have a push button start, or Nav screen, PLUS the interior *LOOKS* like the materials are cheaper in a cost cutting effort to offer a product priced below the Subaru.

Scion has a "no haggle" policy where the MSRP is the final price (or at least they did when my ex got her car. I haven't checked lately) and that's one of the reasons I was going with the Scion. I suspect the first year while they are in demand the dealers will be marking the BRZ up 2-3k above msrp to make a quick few bucks.

The conspiracy theorist in me thinks that Toyota still has been vague about the FR-S pricing is to figure out what they should set the MSRP to so they can turn the dealers a tidy profit in the first year. The fact that they finally have production cars, know what is going into them, and their parts and labor costs tell me there should have been a pricing announcement, especially in light of the fact that there are MSRP for the BRZ and the GT-86.

I think this "first 86" might be their final determination to see how interested people are in the product and will set pricing according to responce, so we should see a price release within the next week.

New focus base model starts at 16k msrp, so does the cruze. Elantra base model is 14K.

No offense, but good luck getting an elantra for 14k or a focus for 16k. Those prices probably don't even include floor mats...

I personally don't want this car priced under 25k. Maybe I'm being snooty, but I don't want to pull up to every stop light and have a teenager driving the same car as me.

scion wouldnt do it though
the tC starts at 19

[Cal]

I'll be buying a used one so 21K is what I'm shooting for.






Unless in 2014 they drop a turbo version.

[mrbbs]

Prices in Belgium will be 31.000 euro.

[topcat]

My 'insider' at Toyota tells me that they're struggling with the exchange rates, so both USD and EUR pricing is coming out much higher than hoped. But this is not news, just economics. Shame though.

[mrbbs]

Price in Belgium confirmed: 31.690 euro.

[ProZach626]

I'm still going to guess right around 27-28 OTD. Probably around 30 for the BRZ.

On Sunday night's episode of Top Gear, they discussed the 86/FRS in the news segment, they thought it was ugly.. which they do for any Japanese car, BUT they said it will cost 25k pounds when it comes out. Which in my opinion, increases speculation that here in North America it will cost at least $30,000 USD/CAD. Seem like the Subaru will not necessarily cost 3-5k more after all.

I do believe that cars in the UK are higher than here, even considering the exchange rate.

I would expect to see the FRS hit the dealers at $24,500-25,500 and the BRZ to be $26,000-27,000.

If they start going higher, you end up real close to the mustang, camaro and Z offerings that become hard to pass up when you see the hp ratings. I know it's not ALL about power or more importantly power to weight, but when you are looking for a sports car, you want SOME power, 151 tq isn't that great.

Still hoping for a 260-300 hp turbo model for ~$30-32k.

I am not sure how they can sell an Impreza for 19k base and a WRX base for $26k, while the rwd more raw, smaller sports car costs close to the turbo, awd wrx. I mean, mechanically, materials and electronics cost should be less than the WRX by far, yet the cost of the actual vehicle on sale is almost the same (or more). The only reasoning I can come up with is that to make the more sporty car means that it will be less mass produced and therefore the costs rise as volume drops. Not enough materials/machines/plants to produce higher volume? It would sell alot more at $22k.

[Turbowned]

As they tell us in sales, Price is relative to value. They could sell it for $50k if the buyers were convinced they were worth the money. They could also struggle to sell 'em for $20k if they weren't convinced they were worth it. I just hope the salespeople at Toyota and Subaru can clearly demonstrate the value in owning those cars or they're in trouble, it's looking like.

My point exactly. At that cost, it's hard to justify not getting any of the competition that would blow the doors off of this car, power wise. I know power isn't everything, but there is something to be said for a car that can push you back in your seat. This car doesn't seem like it's capable of doing that, at all.

This whole thread is starting to make me want to just exlpore my options and really do some reseach.

This whole thread is starting to make me want to just exlpore my options and really do some reseach.

sadly, I did the same. When I first started to hear about this car, prices were under 23k or so, now it's going to be at least 1.5k higher and possibly 26k base. Then there had been wide speculation of a turbo model coming out a few years later, which seems like it won't happen. Where toyota/subaru failed is the point when they decided that they needed to put in a special motor. They could have easily put the FA20 or better FA25 and did a NA version with 160-180 hp and another turbo model with 260 hp. That way people get their miata beater (or very close for less $) @ 23k and a 28-29k 370z/mustang/camaro contender. Now what we have is a weaker version of the s2000 with the only upside is that it has tiny back seats and a bigger trunk.

[silentheart]

Don't tell your girl friend her FRS has a big trunk...
