2012 Toyota GT86 Sports Coupe



2012 Toyota GT86 Sports Coupe. Do you remember our recent poll where we said, "You should feel fortunate that you can acquire a fairly rewarding and fun to drive sports car for $25,000 (~€19,500)"?

If our link to our older post on the prices of the Nissan 370Z around the world did not convince you, maybe this will.

Whereas in the U.S.A, $24,200 (€18,850) - not including a $730 destination and handling fee, will get you into the base 2013 FR-S, over in Holland, our Dutch friends from Autoblog.nl report that its European sibling, the Toyota GT86, will go on sale on July 1 with a starting price of €39,990. That is equal to US$51,400 at today's exchange rates, or more than double the price of the FR-S Coupe!

The better-equipped GT86 Limited will cost Dutch buyers €41,690 (US$53,600), with the 6-speed automatic transmission being a no-cost option.

The GT86's other twin, the Subaru BRZ in Sport Executive trim, carries a base sticker price of €40,995 (US$52,700) in Holland.

every improvement on a car usually warrants an increase in the price. I believe the differences in prices have something to do with the place where they are manufactured. buyers should consider the benefits of the car though the Toyota GT86 has always been a cool car.
