    I am really liking the looks of this thing. And if it has the same driving dynamics of the Yaris GR I imagine it will be really fun. Surprised they managed to hit the 300hp mark from a 1.6L 3Cyl that is pretty awesome. Only thing im thinking of is how will the boost lag be on that motor especially in Calgary elevation. Probably wont have full boost till 3500 at least.
    Mercedes gets 415hp out of a 2L. Has plenty of lag, I assume this will be no different. Seeing decent power somewhere in the 3k range is probably a fair guess.

    I admit my ignorance.

    According to google:

    Civic SI - 200hp
    Type R - 300hp

    So a GR Corolla lands right in the middle?

    Edit:

    GR Yaris sounds convincingly bad ass. Assuming the recipe is the same for the Corolla and not another Integra, sounds pretty bad ass. I'll wait for the reveal.

    I wasn’t trying to condescend or anything, it’s hard to express intent with text. My bad.

    But yeah, pricing to hp for Honda isn’t great these days.

    The new type R will be out next, I can imagine it’ll be 52-55k. Crazy stuff

    I already broke the news to the wife that we might need to replace my daily with a sensible 4dr Corolla hatchback.

    Need to do something about that honeycomb black lower grill insert. It's the only thing detracting me from the car thus far.
    I think your strategy is likely well used. All I have to manage now is explaining why this Corolla costs $15k more than that one over there.

    Inflation, chip shortages, supply demand...

    Just don't show her the price of the other Corollas

    They're certainly big, but I don't know if they are the BEST I've tasted.

    Just watched the reveal. I really hope I can get a 2023 Circuit with the carbon roof.

    I think that guy will be over $50k? Core being $40k?

    I’d assume 45k base and 55-60k for the Circuit more likely.

    What was the difference other than aesthetics (roof, hood, spoiler)?

    Circuit has larger brakes, the “forged” carbon roof and some minor other things in the interior iirc. The carbon roof is important to me for whatever reason my mind has decided.

    My stream was cutting cutting in and out but I thought I heard something about LSD?

    It sounds like the diffs and brakes will be an option package for the base car.

    The diff, tech and cold weather package will be an option for the Core trim.

    The Circuit edition will be a launch exclusive edition

    Ok.

    Base car (core) gets open diff.

    Base with perf package gets front and rear LSD + brakes.

    Circuit gets all that plus carbon roof, vented hood and spoiler.

    The big issue for me is it sounds like the only way to get leather seats is the circuit edition which is gonna be big $$$...

    The other bells and whistles (along with the grey colour) are nice to haves just not sure if they justify the price, but man, cloth seats are horrible with kids. Never again.

    I’ve got cloth in Evo X. After a certain age it’s back to normal. I think base in red with performance pack will do it for me.

    Twin Cam, congrats, I would have pulled the trigger myself, but the missus gets her 2022 BRZ next week, and I've spent way to long checking out used M2s to throw the towel in on that now, but in the near future one of these Corolla GRs will be mine, even if it's just for a season or two. What a great car.

    Yeah I think a bunch of us on here will get our hands on these. I just didn’t feel sold on the 2022 86, love the engine but the rest of the car wasn’t worth the premium over my 2013.

    I think base with perf pack is the way to go.

    Leather seats are worse than cloth in every single way, except for cleaning up after kid spills. I’d love to have cloth seats.

    is it exposed forged carbon? forged carbon is heinous.
