I’ve got a slot.
What are you ordering? And are you going to keep it? wink

Edited to ask the question to all those with slots.

How long before we see the first flipped cars and will the overs be as much as last time round. Personally I think come winter dealers will have a few cars from cancelled orders as not much profit to be gained by flipping this time round!

Need to decide colour, currently have red but all I want is a blue car and they don’t offer that so possibly grey? It will be auto though as found the gearbox was the weak part of the package.

Although all of that depends on how the test drive goes.

If you decline you get your deposit back and they pick someone else who got rejected.

Tend to agree and with good Mk1’s selling for £20k less it won’t be long before depreciation kicks in for the Mk2’s.

For all those unsuccessful the first batch was always going to be extremely limited to build up the drama! By the time the second batch arrives all those who genuinely want will be able to purchase at list!

Not quite true.

Toyota UK get their allocation in January, they’ve said based off that and how popular this ballot is will determine how they allocate cars for the next batch.

Unsuccessful - ordered my current one upon launch October 2020 direct from Toyota, received Feb 21, still got it, done 19000 miles, it’s unmodified and full service history at local Toyota dealer including all the silly 3000 mile safety checks.

Tbh not especially impressed with this result.

I entered the ballot for an Ogier edition - whilst having virtually no hope of being successful!
I've had an email to say I've been successful in being offered a standard edition. To be honest I expected to hear that I'd been unsuccessful in securing an Ogier edition, period.
I'm uncertain as to whether I'm going to go ahead with the standard model, or whether to keep my current car. At least I've a week or so to give it some thought...

Had mine since December 2020 and 34k on the clock wink bin off the safety checks (they’re 6 monthly not mileage based) Toyota UK are the only ones to recommend this and have confirmed it doesn’t impact warranty.

Same here, sorry but you missed out.

Had my name down for the Mk1 but didn't get one also. Bought a '21 plate off a mate back in December as a winter hack/daily so I'm happy I have one and I'd like to see/drive a Mk2 in the flesh anyways to justify the $$$ increase.

Might as well have just put a Ferrari 360 on the list.

I’ve been despatched North today to bring our Range Rover back to London as my wife’s (rightly) decided that trying to use the Yaris as the family car isn’t working.
