I’m not so sure, I called Toyota today as I had a query regarding the process and the gent was a proper petrolhead, I get the impression no one below the boss has been told about the exact number coming in other than its limited, he also listed all dealerships that were getting an auto demo car in the first batch of demos. From memory, Dundee, Norwhich, Belfast, Guildford. Theres about 10-15 autos coming as demo cars by the end of this month.
Regarding the supply issue he said that they're having to balance it with EV sales due to the penalties imposed which does seem plausible.
Think the demos will be a bit late for myself, was tempted by the Auto but as you have said a test drive would be required before committing. Regarding the supply issue he said that they're having to balance it with EV sales due to the penalties imposed which does seem plausible.
Confirmation mail from Toyota that any change of transmission has to be made before the 15th July.
Catch 22, as order an Auto now, test drive auto (most likely August) and don't like would mean canceling the order as no option to change to manual after 15th July.
With test drives later than final lock in date it doesn't help with being able to make decision on the Auto version.
So looking like either take chance on Auto and if poor, no new GRY or revert to the known manual.
Edited to add:
Toyota have replied again with update on below dealers having Auto before 15th July (nearest to me is 300 miles
)Belfast
Guildford
