Glad they're bringing this engine over. It's just too bad this shell is meh. Whatever, let's see what it looks like.
Also this better have AWD like the Yaris or else they goofed.
sounds cool. Hope they make lots, hope they sell lots.

If this doesn't have AWD, that will be a major facepalm.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
I'm hoping for 4wd, leg room and not many go fast wings/badges.
It has "GR-FOUR" on the side skirts.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
GT-Four might mean something, GR-Four might mean something else. I'm not trusting Toyota with ANY badging or nameplates after the BMW Supra.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
It's true, it should have AWD. I am just wanting it confirmed.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Sweet! Hope that Toyota will use a better tune for it, close to 300HP. (many tuning for the Yaris GR to over 300 HP) And hope it is not too heavy and under $50K to start.
I wonder how much "Markup" the dealer will charge .. $10k? 15K?

wasnt the Yaris based on the Corolla platform anyway?
I've read some articles say GR-FOUR which confirms AWD. Probably Haldex FWD-bias but still AWD.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
EDIT: @heavyD got it covered
I love wide fenders and manual. All the speculation on GR forum is that it’s same motor and AWD system as GR Yaris ie epic. It needs to be priced right in between GTI/ R… if it is then I’m definitely lining up.
If its actually turbo-awd it looks like I found a replacement for the fiesta. Always been sad there hasn't been any fun turbo-awd hatches besides the Focus RS / Golf R. Not excited to see pricing on it tho.
I’m excited but unlikely to buy one because my other half won’t drive manual
The base AWD system is a poor man's Haldex. In the UK the base model GR Yaris comes with this system. The circuit pack includes front and rear Torsen LSD's as that's the one to have. I imagine the GR Corolla will have this system either standard or optional. If not I'm out on this car.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Nope. The GR Yaris is built on Yaris platform but uses the rear subframe of the Corolla. This is what likely makes for a relatively easy transition to a Corolla GR.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Unfortunately I think it's going to be pricey as the GR Yaris with Circuit pack was priced similarly to the Civic Type R in the UK. I expect it will be in the range of $50k. Historically Toyota performance vehicles have always been priced a the top of their segments and I don't expect this to be any different.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member.

Considering how much Demuro loved the Yaris GR, I'm hoping for similar results here. It's a shame it has to be put into something like a Corolla, but it fits the ethos for this kind of car.
As others are saying AWD is a must. Even if it's a basic system, I think the issue with these hot hatches like the GTI is getting grip to put the power down. It's the main reason I haven't actually bought the GTI in the past and have been toying with the idea of a Golf R.
So what you're saying is if I want a GR Corolla, I'm gonna need to see $300 oil and not celebrate with triple meat subs. fukThis quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
If this is $50k, hell no.
It's totally going to be $50K. Might even be $55K.
