Toyota has revealed the price on its rather excellent GT 86 sports coupe. And that price is £24,995.
When we drove the car in Madrid last month, the company told us it was aiming for the Peugeot RCZ and Volkswagen Scirocco, so that £25k price tag slots in nicely: an equivalent Scirocco, the 2.0-litre TSI, costs £24k, while a GT-spec 200bhp RCZ costs a shade under £26k.
And yet, as we found out, neither can hold a candle to the GT 86, so its main competition will likely come from its twin, the Subaru BRZ - a car likely to cost between £26k to £28k. In terms of driving, both are identical, and identically excellent, as TG mag's Ollie Marriage found out. In fact, it is the best Toyota he's ever driven, and "one of the best driving sports cars of the last decade".
Read the full verdict on the long-awaited Toyota GT 86 here, and then let us know which one you'd rather opt for, the Subaru BRZ or GT 86, below.

Definitely prefer the toyota offering, the subaru will always feel a little bit uncouth, and maybe a little be tacky inside.

What extras do you get in the Subaru for another grand or two it is going to cost?

Well, the Subaru would be the obvious choice, simply because of the badge and the brand's history... but why will it cost 2k pounds more?

it will cost more due to the heritage for producing quick cars (STI) as far as i can work out the Toyota will have a nicer place to sit and cost less. so sign me up for it please. technically since i live in america i would be specking out a scion FRS
