I'm curious now too, is there an easy place to find the production date?

Better yet, engine production date? Early '24s might still have engines made late in the '23 production schedule.

look at Driver's side door jab jamb sticker, has information on production date

The engine production date is stamped in ink on the engine a couple of inches to the right of the Shimoyama/Meister badge. The production date for the vehicle is in the doorjamb.

It looks like a Clan Rivalry has been born.

The GR Master Clan vs The GR Yoshinoya Clan

Because who says "I want a 2nd edition Charizard"

Because who says "I want a 2nd edition Charizard"

Shimoyama = 1st edition Charizard
Meister = blue flame 'shiny' Charizard

Badges? We don’t need no stinking badges!

Shimoyama = 1st edition Charizard
Meister = blue flame 'shiny' Charizard

Perfect analogy. I'm just being salty over something we know nothing about yet!

Dudes. Did we not already ascertain that there was a production change effective 02/24? It's right there in the Toyota parts catalog. I have no idea why they changed the badge, but it was clearly done across the board.

It does on the official Toyota EPC

It is now the emblem for all GRC's with build dates Feb 2024 onwards.
Shimoyama emblem (18030) has ended Jan 2024.

Was planning on trading in my 23 circuit for a 24 circuit, NOT ANYMORE.

I will NEVER join team meister, #SHIMOYAMA4life.

The legend is called GRMN not GRSN for a reason.

Let's all pause, bow our head for a minute to honor and show respect to the Meister!

Maybe it’s a ‘24 thing.

We need data.

LOL come on guys. Why do I even post the EXACT information y'all looking for if you don't scroll up 4 posts above it.

It's February 2024 production onwards. It not a '24 thing. It's specifically Shimoyama until Jan 2024 regardless of year, and it's Meister Feb 2024 onwards. With time zone difference, some Jan 31st cars are actually Feb 1st, so to be even more specific...here's the exact VIN (last 5 digits) changeover.

Should be the last cars with Shimoyama badge:
#11273 USA
#11275 Canada

Should be the first cars with Meister badge:
#11274 USA
#11284 Canada
