Toyota Motor PH sells out entire supply of 86 for 2012

By Patrick Everett Tadeo —

TopGear.com.ph Philippine Car News -Toyota Motor Philippines sells out 2012 supply of 86

"I'm confident that we could sell 50 units a month," Toyota Motor Philippines president Michinobu Sugata told TopGear.com.ph at the launch of the 86 on June 18.

Judging by what Sugata said, that means it probably took just two months for TMP to sell its 2012 allocation for the 86, as one source from within the company said that the Japanese carmaker is only bringing in "less than 80 units" of its highly anticipated sports car. We dug even deeper and we found out that TMP can only bring 77 units for this year.

Apparently, the global demand for the 86 and its Subaru twin, the BRZ, is so high that Toyota Motor Corporation itself could only give TMP that number of units to sell for 2012. That's a huge drop from the "less than 1,000 units" TMP was hoping it could get from its mother company this year.

And if you're planning on getting one, you should know that all 77 units are already spoken for, which means 77 Toyota 86 owners are now just waiting for the delivery of their brand-new sports coupe. Correction: Make that 74 Toyota 86 owners; we heard at the launch that one rich gearhead who goes by the name of Ramon Ang actually bought four units.

    Sugapa ka Ramon Ang pengeng isa!!! HAHAHA Joke! Well, this is really understandable, sorry saming mga nahuli :|

      Sorry dahil normal citizens lang tayo. Kahit mauna ka mag pareserve, talagang malakas mang box out yung buwaya.

        Nung nag inquire kami, sabi ubos na daw...ewan ko kung ubos na talaga o ayaw lang? Anyway nandyan naman GC o kaya antayin na lang BRZ.
           
        • njb1216 11 months ago
           
          Bro ako last april pa naka reserve, downpayment with receipt. 5th in line from Toyota Bicutan. I have a feeling na hindi sumunod sa queue yung majority sa mga nakakuha ng units. Pwede kaya ipa-DTI 'tong mga to? :))
             
          • GotToRead 11 months ago
             
            Late May na kasi kami eh, tapos Toyota Manila Bay, wala na daw! Nako hintay na lang ng BRZ tsaka GC hehe

              i'm thinking of getting a GC din kaso Korean car eh haha iba prin brand equity ng japanese cars
                 
              • GotToRead 11 months ago
                 
                Well you're just like my dad! I'm negotiating this topic to him, we'll wait for the 86 or BRZ but a big no no to the Koreans..pffft
                   
              • njb1216 11 months ago
                 
                Best arguement against your dad is the seating of the 86. The GC has a big advantage against the 86 in this category. Let your dad sit on the rear seats of the 86 LOL.
                   
              • GotToRead 11 months ago
                 
                HAHA! Seating will not be a big merit! He always insist about the quality of materials that Hyundai uses, malapit kasi kami sa Hyundai Cavite and he saw the quality of materials firsthand, sabi niya talagang nandiri daw sya lalo na sa elantra, nahiya pa ako dun sa agent eh, these are his exact words: Bat ganito ang cheap ng materials na ginamit niyo? 7 months lang to no tapos palit na? HAHAHAHA masyado madiscriminate sa Koreans tatay ko eh, but I admire the Koreans for trying :D

                You're dad's right GotToRead. I've been inside the new 2013 GC coupe dun sa west ave and ang cheap nga tgnan ng mga buttons and the quality of the material. Ang dmi ko din kakilala na may GC na nagrereklamo about sa chassis parang may tumutunog daw after ilan months plng. Features of the Hyundai is good but the quality is not as good as the Jap cars.
                   
                • GotToRead 11 months ago
                   
                  Pero may big improvement naman daw sa interior ang 2013 GC eh, tignan na lang natin pag dating dun na magkakaalaman :)

    77? grabe naman. sana kahit 300 units man lang. swerte naman nung mga nakabili konti pa lang sila sa kalsada. hahaha!
       
  • neutral 11 months ago
     
    Shouldn't be better if there is a maximum order for each customer considering that there are limited units available? Four units for a sole person reflects greed for the dealer and the buyer as well. Will these units be given to the CEO's of the giant company or just for collections? Others are craving for just one unit but one person is already flooded with four similar cars. Baka kasi bumili ng ibang brand si buyer para sa fleet nila kaya pinayagan ng toyota. Iba na ang rich, laging priority.

    palakasan talaga, pag sinwerte ka at nakasabit ka sa conglomerate, kahit ilang unit gusto mo bibigay sayo ng TMP. Reservation and queuing only applies to normal citizens. Puwde ba sila demandahin in this kind of basis? Harap harapan na discrimination.
       
    • njb1216 11 months ago
       
      DTI NA TO! LOL! Of course compensations for those who are "nasagasaan" by greedy people, and unethical industry practice would also be nice.
         
  • Stephmeister101 11 months ago
     
    dapat pla nagpareserve nlng agad ako, kala ko mdmi sila papadating kaya hinayaan ko muna
       
  • Stephmeister101 11 months ago
     
    Look at the bright side guys, mdming mkakatry nyan so mas mkakapag decide tayo kung magnda ba tlaga since magkakaron na ng reviews locally and from owners themselves
       
    • njb1216 11 months ago
       
      Bro IMO, sometimes, when you really want the car, reviews don't matter. Lalo na sa ganitong segment. :)) And the ETA of new units as per my agent is NEXT YEAR PA. So in my mind, "who cares about the reviews, I gotta get mine ASAP".
         
      • Stephmeister101 11 months ago
         
        NEXT YEAR?! WTF!! BRZ nlng kung ganun din! Grbe nmn sa tagal, since when ka pa nag pareserve??
           
        • njb1216 11 months ago
           
          A month ago! WTF talaga, since most of the ones who got their units surely CUT in line! Haay industry malpractice talaga.
             
          • Stephmeister101 11 months ago
             
            grbe ah... sa subaru nlng ako cguro mag pa reserve ng BRZ kung next year dn ung 86. Grbe nkakaasar un mahihintay mo pa ba un??
               
            • njb1216 11 months ago
               
              Hell no! Super tagal nun. It would be much worse with the BRZ though, 1:3 ang production ng BRZ to 86 IIRC. And malamang marami na pumila dun just like the 86. If you think that you should just be switching to the BRZ, trust me. There are about a thousand na same ng iniisip mo na naunahan ka na. :(

              Doesn't hurt to try though. Good luck!
                 
              • Stephmeister101 11 months ago
                 
                ugh ano ba yan -_-
                   
              • Stephmeister101 11 months ago
                 
                mukhang mtatagalan pa bago ko palitan car ko. I want to know muna kasi kung worth it tlga kasi right now i'm driving a CLK240 my parents gave me and i was thinking of trading it in since mas sporty ung feel ng BRZ kaso nga it lacks the power and it's luxury is no where near the Merc. Cguro if you had yours na you can let me know kung mganda ba tlga ung ride and yung speed nya
                   
  • angelcave89 11 months ago
     
    yung mga may gusto ng car dapat magpareserve na kau kc asahan na natin yan na limited lang talaga ang supply di lang naman kc pilipinas malakas ang demand lalo na siguro sa ibang bansa at maliit lng ang market nang pilipinas kaya di ito priority..ganun din sa brz dapat pagdating pareserve na agad malamang kunti din lng yun dahil isang planta lng galing ang 86 at brz..ang problema lang yung malakas sa loob sila nauuna kahit sila nman nahuli haha
       
  • tgstig 11 months ago
     
    lol kahit gray market walang unit nyan. BRZ wala din. pero may Scion F-RS, anyone?
       
    • Stephmeister101 11 months ago
       
      FR-S costs 2.3m in the grey market, tpos hndi pa aero variant un
         
  • bongski 11 months ago
     
    Kailan ba daw darating ung next batch ng 86? Malamang ung mga order ngaung ng individual buyer eh next year pa dumating, sorry na lang tayo na hindi masyadong rich, naka linya sa napaka habang pila..
       
  • roadrage 11 months ago
     
    Sigurado iba na price next year..XD
       
  • snoid_zero 11 months ago
     
    i dont get the math...77 - 4 = 74?...nevermind
       
    • njb1216 11 months ago
       
      77-3 lang since you have to account 1 owner for 4 cars.
         
  • Anonymouse 11 months ago
     
    @snoid_zero: 74 kasi the 74th owner is getting 4 cars. So the 74th car plus the 3 other cars = 77. Gets mo? Gets ko.
       
  • Nicolite 11 months ago
     
    Lets wait for Subaru, how many units will they release, but i really like the Hyundai Genesis Coupe,
        1
  • Stephmeister101 11 months ago
     
    Has anyone inquired about the BRZ sa Subaru and when will it be available??
       
  • Giovchan 11 months ago
     
    And consider also that the 86 and BRZ are both global cars and made by one factory. Read this guys http://www.topgear.com.ph/news/fuji-heavy-industries-to-build-100-000-brzs-86s-annually-report so the supply may not really be enough. At least TMP got some units, pero kasi mabenta talaga, pabigyan niyo na :)
       
    • ako_si_bigotilyo 11 months ago
       
      at least nagbigay sila sa MGA VIP at mga nakasabit sa conglomerate, diba? yan ang gusto mong sabihin.
         
      • tgstig 11 months ago
         
        di nila pinapansin yung bumili ng pa isa isa haha
           
      • Giovchan 11 months ago
         
        not really:) i just want to say that everything have their limits, parang ito lang if hindi kaya isupply ng tmp ung units na kailangan natin, ganyan rin sa ibang market (maybe even more). And we should consider 86 AND BRZ are being made by a factory 3:1 respectively.. so there is the demand yet the supply is not there:) Maybe the BRZ will have the same situation, but we're not sure yet, we'll just wait for it.

  • jayzeter19 11 months ago
     
    so this years supply have runned out ? You mean the entire 2012 supply from may~dec are out?? sheesh now that TMP no know its figures. It should bring more units here!

    sorry to ordinary citizens like us. looks like we will need for next years supply! but look at the bright side! by next month~year we will have other options! BRZ,GC, and 86 i feel sorry for that ramon guy he didn't wait for the BRZ xD
       
    • njb1216 11 months ago
       
      Don't feel sorry for Ramon Ang. He probably owns the biggest collection of exotics here in the PH. :))

      He could also buy 4 BRZs when they release it here WITHOUT falling in line. And that's the truth!
         
    • tgstig 11 months ago
       
      not a problem for Ramon Ang, he might buy 2 or 3 of that BRZ too! So we normal citizens will be left out with less units to que on...
         
    • GotToRead 11 months ago
       
      May Peugeot RCZ pa ata? HAHA
         
      • tgstig 11 months ago

    You might wanna check this out to know what automaker is best in terms of quality, I wonder why TG is not yet making an article for this. http://autos.yahoo.com/blogs/motoramic/key-car-quality-study-ranks-software-bugs-most-170243393.html
       
    • Giovchan 11 months ago
       
      They should really make an article about this, quality among cars is what buyers are finding, this will be a great help to future car buyers, what they will expect from their choices.. C'mon TGP please?
         
      • car_mac 11 months ago
         
        Exactly!
           
      • GotToRead 11 months ago
         
        Hmmmmm I've read the article, Subaru, Ford, Suzuki, Mitsubishi and Volvo are worse than Kia and Hyundai? LOL
           
        • Giovchan 11 months ago
           
          Pero kasi the fact na medyo mababa sales nila..:) But those manufacturers including Hyundai, Kia, Lexus and Toyota will continue making better cars in the future:) But Volvo mekes one hell of a safe car :) Kudos to all
             
          • GotToRead 11 months ago
             
            Yep, I know na mas mababa sales nila kesa sa hyundai at kia pero sa Global market mejo lubog na ang Mitsubishi sayang naman.

  • foolishofficer 11 months ago
     
    I heard BRZ is also in limited supply. So does that give better sales number for the face-lifted Genesis.
       
    • njb1216 11 months ago
       
      Hyundai should really take advantage by pricing the Genesis aggressively, while maintaining a nice number of supplies. It didn't take overnight for Toyota to get the major slice of the pie so Hyundai should try hacking its way in every chance they get.
         
  • seamariner 11 months ago
     
    sayang, never mind subaru nalang ang bibilhin ko
       
    • Stephmeister101 11 months ago
       
      same problem lng dude, mas limited pa ung BRZ sa 86
         
  • maklo02 11 months ago
     
    If you guys want, I saw 2 SCION FR-S (Toyota 86) at autosource near ABS-CBN. I was actually shocked that they have that here. I think the colors were red and pearl white :)
       
    • tgstig 11 months ago
       
      pede rin kaso mahal, tapos napaka basic sa features lalo na sa interior. pero kung wala kang pakialam sa mga features at madami pera mo, get the FR-S, unique ka pa, kasi wala naman scion dito sa pinas dba. order ka nalang ng foglights at normal spoiler (not the ridiculous aero spoiler) sa japan para mukha na ring 86 ang FR-S mo.

  • one.edchelle 11 months ago
     
    awwhhh... it's dis appointing we thought that we could have more, but it's okay that we wait for long rather than another worldwide recall because of hurry of production...
       
  • one.edchelle 11 months ago
     
    @kim john sa 2013 pa daw nila dadalhin ang BRZ dito, and kung magpapareserve ka it's P50,000
