    How anyone buys this over an S4 for 60k is beyond me
    The two cars serve a nearly entirely different purpose. Off-warranty reliability notwithstanding (even though I think it is a factor), the S4 is basically a capable, comfortable, daily-driver sedan. The corolla is a rowdy hot-hatch tinker toy. I don't see how anyone would cross shop these cars on any basis except purely budget. Also, I haven't shopped for one, but isn't $60k a stripper model S4? Odds are, these won't even compete on price unless you look at the top model corolla with a market adjustment added, vs. a base S4.

    Isn’t 55k the stripper model Corolla price?

    If I’m not comparing stripper model to stripper model let me know

    This is currently a cult car for rich people to add to other much more expensive cars.
    I clearly don't know enough about this car as I can't comprehend that statement and "Corolla" in the same breath.

    people are spending $120k on Mustangs. $170k on Dodge Rams (lol). $220k on Caymans.

    Correct, but I know what those options have to offer including copious amounts of horsepower.

    A 250 hp Corolla on the other hand? No comprende.

    Doesn't the average Civic make about that much hp?

    As mentioned, I'll have to read up on this car, I'm ignorant to what it has to offer.

    It's basically what they are doing to bring the GR Yaris to NA. That car was a sensation. I think you do need to do some reading.

    Is 'stripper model' expensive level or basic level? I'm lost.

    Civics don’t make than 200hp currently. An Si will run you 35-38 these days.

    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.

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

    Change my mind.
    I own two german cars outside of warranty.

    based on the Corolla's hatchback bodystyle, but with extra vents, scoops, and larger wheels and tires that will ensure it looks leaner and meaner
    In other words, it's going to look like ass. I guess we'll see tomorrow.

    I’ve owned 4 Germans out of warranty. Did no repairs on any of them. Probably was pushing my luck.

    I know my C63 has transmission problems soon after the next owner got it. $12k in cost for certified pre owned warranty company.

    It’s a roll of the dice.

    The landing page is up now. 300hp / 273 ftlbs which is a bit of a bump over the yaris.

    I'm so glad I put money down last year on one of these as the launch edition with CF roof looks like the one to get.
