So, you want to see the Toyota 86 in the metal?

Toyota 86

Two weeks ago, we reported here that Toyota Motor Philippines already had an actual unit of the 86 sports coupe by showing you a photo posted by a TMP employee on his Facebook wall. Well, you can actually see that very unit in the metal now--one month before the official launch of the car in our market.

This weekend, TMP is driving the car through select streets in Metro Manila to give the public a glimpse of the much-awaited coupe. The carmaker calls this marketing stunt the "86 Sightings Motorcade." Below is the list of the exact routes of the motorcade from May 25 to 27, as well as the exact times the car will pass through specific streets.

But before you check the list, here's one more thing. Toyota wants you to take a photo of the car when you spot it. Then e-mail the photo to us at topgear@summitmedia.com.ph. The deadline for submission of photos is May 28, Monday. Senders of the three (3) best photos get a camera bag from Toyota.

    I have a question (although I doubt I can submit anyway).

    Should the photos to be submitted be RAW or can it be "tweaked" in photo editing software?

    Just JPEG file, please. Our mailbox will be clogged if you submit photos in raw format (due to size).

    • someonespecialisme May 24 2012 @ 10:56pm
      target market kasi nila is middle class to maybe lower upper class...useless to actually pass it through the mid-upper upper class as those market might not be interested in a budget sports car..
      • BOOGIECAT May 25 2012 @ 05:52am
        Mahilig din naman ang mga lower at mid upper class na car buyers sa mga tig 1.5M-2 Million Peso car like Toyota 86.

  • neotech93 May 24 2012 @ 06:53pm
    for the places with an hour dedicated to it, will the car stay in the place for an hour? or will it pass by quickly sometime within that hour?
  • isaac3654 May 24 2012 @ 07:00pm
