    Weren't RS's over $60k MSRP by the end of the production run?
    Mainly because of that LSD upgrade and some minor stuff in 2018 yeah. But 2016 and 2017 models could be had for $50-51k OTD pretty easily.

    I also would think someone who bought a 2018 one may have haggled it down too as demand wasn't that great for it back then. Oh well, snooze ya lose.

    GR Yaris - 257 hp, $55k
    WRX - 271 hp, $30k
    A35 AMG - 302 hp, $55k
    Golf R - 315 hp, $45k
    STI - 315 hp, $50k
    Focus RS - 350 hp, $50k


    Okay so this car will have ~260 hp and will sell for the same price if not more than 350 hp cars? Got it
    Well, I mean I could compare a Mustang to a BRZ too, so... Cars are more than price per HP.

    The GR Corolla will likely get a HO 300 hp version of the G16.

    How anyone buys this over an S4 for 60k is beyond me

    If it's anywhere near 50k they lost me. No way a Corolla is STI/Focus RS money. Hell a Focus RS isn't even worth Focus RS money.

    Anyone had any dealer conversations yet? I have and they know nothing, not taking deposits. I’ve never been interested in a yet to be released car so don’t know what to expect about securing an order.
    My bud at South Pointe said they were taking deposits to hold your name on their list - Then order based on that priority. But outside of that, they know nothing for allocation, price or delivery.

    Hopefully there's more info tomorrow night from with the Toyota corporate reveal.

    The S4 is so bloated now. I mistake them for A6’s sometimes as they are so big.

    A Corolla isn’t exactly drastically smaller

    People are going to have to recalibrate what a $50k driving experience gets you.

    People are going to need to recalibrate what a lot of life experiences cost.

    Would never own an Audi outside of warranty nor deal with the maintenance costs, while being perfectly comfortable owning a Toyota outside of warranty.
    I think a lot of people are in that camp which is also the reason why Toyotas hold their value so well while Audi's generally (not always) depreciate like a rock.

    The whole “would never own it outside warranty” argument has basically 0 impact on a new car purchase.

    Change my mind.

    Thought process when buying new car:

    I plan on driving this car for next 6 years.

    Or

    Google, set alarm to get rid of this shit in 730 days; no snooze.
