Hello all. I ordered a 2026 CT5-V Blackwing back in May, my TPW is 7/28. I’m extremely excited and happy to join these forums.
I was looking to purchase a fun manual daily driver earlier this year and was really impressed by the GR Corolla. I had worked up a deal for at the dealership, and was ready to pick up the car, but then my wife took a look at the Toyota and laughed at how ugly it was. She hated it, and I understood, it did feel like a cheap little thing. I just cared that it was sporty and manual.
She didn’t have to tell me twice to treat myself with something nicer. I ordered a BMW M3. I grew up a BMW guy, but was not really in love with the new generation. Still, I was sure I’d love it more than the Corolla. But I wasn’t convinced I’d love the M3, so I kept looking. I built a deep space metallic BW with bronze wheels on the website and was in love.
I called a few dealers and none had a manual in stock. So I started asking about allocations. I got lucky and found a dealer who said they’d be happy to help me and we were off to the races. I’ve been lurking this forum since my order but decided to just join now since I clearly cannot contain my excitement.
