GR Yaris

[dimi]

I'm no longer the demographic that would buy something like this, but wow is it impressive. I can't believe Toyota actually built it:

- 2800lbs - 3 door only
- 6MT only
- 1.6l 3 cylinder - 260hp/260tq
- AWD - Active centre diff (adjustable), torsen front and rear lsd.
- Carbon roof, widebody, aluminum hood/doors/trunk.
- Independent rear suspension, extensive chassis welding and adhesives etc.

Have been reading really good reviews. Sad it won’t be sold in Canada, I’d probably consider it in the 40-50k range personally.

[bjstare]

Yet another seemingly great car that won't come to North America.

I'm generally all for factory widebody, but that rear arch looks so awkward in that photo above. While it does look more pleasing from the rear, i feel like it could have been incorporated a bit better as right now it kind of looks like a wart on it's ass cheek.

[ThePenIsMightier]

Wow. Interesting car.
They've come a long way from the Echo.

[adam c]

Interesting car for sure, wonder how bad the turbo lag would be to make 260/260 in a 1.3

[Disoblige]

Definitely would buy it if it came here. Too cool not to, and you know it will be a special car years down the road if you kept it in decent shape.

[heavyD]

I would seriously consider buying one if it was available here as I was sold after watching Mat's review but I imagine it would be in the range of $45k which would make it a tough sell in North America especially in the US where they hate small cars and bigger is best.

Still 800x better than the flares on the CTR.

Apparently in 2022 NA will get a GR Corolla, minus the AWD. Just as usual, NA gets the neutered version of any fun cars.

and likely no 3dr option as usual..... ugh, nice looking whip though

[dimi]

Yea ok ... we get the FWD open diff version :facepalm: Another Camry TRD

[ExtraSlow]

Camry TRD is awesome.

Yeah I know lol. So dumb.
Welcome to 2007, a Corolla hatch that competes with the Mazdaspeed 3 :rofl:

The cool thing about this Europe only GR Yaris is it was going to enter into WRC for 2021 which was then promptly cancelled/postponed debut for now. So all the development GR put in for WRC, some may actually landed in the production version.

[tonytiger55]

I like it, I don't see it coming to this side of the pond though. SUV sales are where it is at. I am curious as hell to see how the 3 cylinder runs and feels..

I kind wish they made a Type R version of the Honda FIT... oh the possibilities...

[cam_wmh]

All these replies with keen interest, did you guys not realize it ONLY comes in manual?

Satire. It's a back & forth on beyond, it seems.

I only drive manual.

Every time this thread gets bumped, I pray it's news that it's coming to Canada.

Cant bring myself to watch as I just get disappointed in the awesomeness that we cannot get here.

There is no way the GR Corolla hatch will be as cool as this.

I know it's not the same thing but the GR Corolla could potentially be coming to NA. Hopefully it will come with the same 1.6L-3 cyl turbo and AWD.

Zero chance. I will bet you a case of beer we don't see this car registered to a normal owner here until it passes the 15 year import threshold.

[C4S]

I just talked to friends in Hong Kong ... ~ $120K cad there ... can buy Two and a HALF RAV4 there!

And the review isn't that great too .. (It is good, but still not CTR)

Ouch ...

[Mitsu3000gt]

It would be nice to see Toyota put that motor in the FR-S so it's not so boring. At any rate, good on Toyota for doing something like this though, definitely seems out of character for them as of late so this was refreshing to see.

Dude I ain't waiting 15 years for a beer wager lol.

That engine won't fit in a Subaru chassis.

With half the vehicles on the road full sized trucks and mid-full sized SUVs, getting in an accident is instant KO in this little death trap. It's a cool car but you need to consider safety at some point. A soccer mom driving the family lifted Ram1500 will obliterate you.

What are you, 80? Learn how to drive defensively and go have a nice time.

How do you prevent someone driving through a stop sign or red light?

So what are your thoughts on motorcycles? Think of the children?

Drive/ride what you want, but expect the consequences of your choices.

I've always looked both ways before entering an intersection on a green light. After the constant near misses I had living in Vancouver, it saved me on a few occasions.

Don't lie, you just can't fit into one. Time for some "intermitent fasting"...

I definitely would have gotten one of those lil bad boys if they were available in Canada

It's a Doug review so......avoid it if you can't stand him. But the idea of getting one from Tijuana is intriguing.

Plus while you are there, you can take in a donkey show and buy some fine exotic spices.
