Japan Pricing For Toyota GT-86 Announced, Starts At $25,600

[AutoGuide.com]

Autoguide had an opportunity to test drive the Scion FR-S almost two months ago and was immediately impressed with the new sports car's handling and performance.

Featuring a direct-injection 2.0L 4-cylinder boxer engine producing 200 hp at 7000 rpm and 151 lb-ft of torque at 6600 rpm, possessing a low center of gravity as well as a flawless 53/47 weight distribution, it seems the only important detail that's missing is exactly how much the Scion FR-S will cost.

Toyota has finally revealed the pricing of its GT-86 in Japan, which is a good indication of what prospective buyers should expect when the FR-S is finally North America bound later this year. Prices of the new GT-86 sports car will start at $25,600 for a bare-bones "Customize Grade" model. Offered with tuner enthusiasts in mind, the basic Customize Grade will forego creature comforts like air-conditioning and will be sold with unpainted bumpers since it will likely be tossed to make room for after market body kits. However, when fully loaded with all available options, a GT-86 Limited edition will set you back a staggering $38,200. Extra-cost options are a six-speed automatic transmission, limited-slip differential, aluminum pedals and three-spoke sport steering wheel.

Dealers in Japan have already begun accepting orders as the Toyota GT-86 will officially be available in the Japanese domestic market starting March 12. Meanwhile, the Scion FR-S is expected to be released in June for the United States. An official price in North America has yet to be announced but Toyota claims the FR-S will start below $30,000.

I wonder what canada will sell for since we cant exactly convert YEN to USD to CAD to get an acurtate pricing since MSRP are changed everywhere.

So true, we can't just covert the price and come up with a price for our market. I learned over the years that we can't base our market price off of what another market has their at. It just doesn't work like that.

Someone said the FR-S site said Canadian pricing is under $30 000, when I hear that it usually means very close to $30 000.

I will guess $31,ooo CDN +tax
