Was gonna wait to pull the trigger for next year on a Halo, but my sales guy found one, and i couldn’t resist. If it’s true that Toyota is killing off this engine for 2025, then I wouldn’t forgive myself for passing on it. I imagine they’re going to sell out very quickly.

    I typically prefer blue over a comparable green, but this particular one is gorgeous.
    I wish Mazda would focus on a dark green like this instead of the platinum quartz, zircon sand, and liquid copper metallic colors in their current lineup. Imagine this green on the MX-5 with its beige interior, or imagine it on the CX-5, the CX-50, the CX-70, the CX-90, the 3 with Mazda’s tan interior!

    Hey Joe! You need to ask for a commission from Toyota because your review - particularly the "on throttle" portion - sold this vehicle to me!
    Unfortunately for me, I do not currently have the funds to buy this particular vehicle, especially when you factor in the dealer markups that are sure to come with this limited edition version. Yet, a GR86 is likely to be my next new vehicle eventually.

    I have the GR86's "sister" the Subaru BRZ and love the car. Note that the additional engine noise isn't actually piped in - its made up. The dealer can shut it off or you can permanently disable it by disconnecting the module in the dash. It was annoying enough that I didn't wait for the dealer to do it and disconnected the module myself (there are "how to" videos online).

    Is it just me or does it look & sound like the shifting experience is improved on the 2025 with the new tune? Sounds like less rev-hang and like the clutch pedal’s engagement point is more predictable? Or maybe it’s just because you’re such a killer driver… thanks for the review! Hope I can afford one next year!

      I have a deposit down too (in U.S.). I'm not even getting my hopes up and I'm first on the list for a 4 dealer group. There are 1,600 Toyota dealerships in U.S. and 860 cars with half being auto. That means only one 4 dealers will get a manual Hakone. That's ok though. I'm fine with a regular Premium with Perf package anyway.

      @@bearclaw5115 Yeah that's rough, not to mention the markups at some dealers in the US are ridiculous... dealers aren't allowed to markup brand new vehicles in Canada, thankfully. There are 287 dealerships in Canada but I would say most of the Hakone cars will be hitting the bigger car cities like Vancouver or Toronto. I'm hoping they add the Perf package to the Canadian cars, they weren't available for 2024. If I don't snag a Hakone I'll probably opt for an entirely different car, I have a pretty big list of options.

    This car is now up on Toyota's website. Pricing is $36,405 delivered.
    Interestingly Toyota only raised the price of the GR86 $600-650 or about 2%. Subaru was more aggressive with the BRZ, charging $950 to $1,100 more for a 2025.
