is it exposed forged carbon? forged carbon is heinous.

Yeah it’s like a mini Huracan Performante. I don’t like the look but I like the exclusivity.

you could wrap it after?

Forged carbon will be one of those things we laugh at in the near future.

I’d probably wrap it in black or body color. Kinda like the GR Yaris roof that comes wrapped from oem.

black would be nice...body color would probably look sketch tho

[pheoxs]

So no pricing today? That blows

[rage2]

Forged carbon looks good on watches. That’s about it.

[cam_wmh]

Good on Toyota, for nailing this. Hope you all get allocated one.

[ExtraSlow]

Let's see how many land here.

[heavyD]

Yeah CF weave looks beautiful but forged CF looks like an unfinished construction material. I have never understood why people in the automotive world think it looks good. That said I still want the CF roof.

Any indication of how long they'll make this? Assume it'll be longer than a 1 year run, at least a few years like we got for the Focus RS hopefully.

I actually like this ALOT. I thing the base + perf + and tech/cold weather pack is for me. Even the wing etc on the circuit edition is nice. Waiting on colours. I'm thinking black or a dark blue.

I hope this starts a trend from other manufacturers. This needs more competition.

No blue.

Base (Core) = white, black, red
Top (Circuit) = white, red, silver

Not yet, I would assume for a couple years at least - At least until the next gen comes along.

Apparently I'm the only one who likes fine Corinthian leather here, lol.

C&D is estimating low 30's USD so maybe around 40 CAD if they're right?

I think the forged carbon looks way better than the tacky CF wrap they put on the Yaris. If it ends up being wrapped in the same stuff, then I'd peel it off and XPEL it or just do black.

I saw a $37k CAD estimate also for Core (some blog). IF this is true, there's gonna be lineups.

No way it'll be that cheap.

exposed carbon on the exterior of a car is played out and tacky. It will be looked at like the body cladding of our era.

But how else will other people know you paid extra for it?
