I feel like I've scoured the internet and watched/read everything related to the GRC and I'd really like some more info

Do you believe the rumors and are we going to get something this week?

 

[DocRoc24]

Very few people know. Most everything since reveal is speculation. Hang tight bruv.

I believe it! Or at least I hope so. It seems about right since press drives are in August

 

[tyler500e]

Rather than continue to endlessly speculate on the price, what else can we speculate? Haha

Can we list all the ways the final production-ready car will differ from the prototypes we've seen? I'm struggling.. Shit I need a hobby or something.

Yea but not til the end of August is the rumor.

 

[iki4life]

Not only first drives, but allocations have got to open up in August to get October deliveries.
Otherwise its all just smokescreen

No price was released for the Type R right? I feel like that would have accelerated pricing on the GRC.

These multiple releases kinda suck. I get why manufacturers are doing it, they basically get two launches- one for the car and a second for the actual info. But it sucks.

 

[A91supra]

I would like to know if CE and Morizo allocations will happen at the same time as the Cores.

JDM CTR prices have been released at 5 million yen.

Probably not

Thats about 37k USD right? Honestly if that's CTR pricing I have high hopes for GRC...

 

[Tokyotexan]

Yes, but the Yen is down 25% or so from a year ago, so take that how you may.

They will not.
CE is next year, Cores are expected this fall.

Yeah, the Yen has been getting destroyed for 10 years straight against USD. It is down 45% during that time with absolutely no signs of recovery. In fact, it's fallen to levels we haven't seen since 1998.

I know that a lot of people fantasize about Japanese cars and culture, but their economy is in the dumpster right now. I'm not sure if Toyota can keep up with the falling Yen on pricing adjustments globally. You don't want to launch the car and then increase the price soon after, which may kill sales.

At the end of the day, pricing cars in USD is a win for us.

 

[TurboGT]

It's in that range but someone else mentioned the shipping cost that would inevitably be added to the car to bring them over here. I'm sure that's a couple thousand.

Im not all that knowledgeable on the topic but hasn’t the last 10 years been some of the best years for economic growth since the late 90s/early 2k? Finally for once Japan has some moderate inflation.

 

[GR_11]

Great point. The Yen has dropped 11.5% since the CRC debuted on March 31st. From a profitability standpoint, Toyota has been smart to not release pricing until they have to.

 

[A91supra]

They will not.

I'm not talking about deliveries, I'm talking about allocations.
I'm hoping they will be allocated at the same time, so I know if I'm getting a CE or have to get a Core.

That sure would be nice. And would help my anxiety quite a bit too 😅

Allocations for the CE will come out for decemberish maybe. So around November.

If the Core is suppose to launch in October allocations for that will happen in September.
