    Hail has entered the chat
    I wonder how it would hold up. Back in 2015 our dealership got hit with a massive hail storm that caused $10,000-$20,000 worth of damage per vehicle, while our composite and plastic C7 Corvettes that are parked outside didn't have a mark on them.

    I'm thinking it's going to start at 45k base + 5k for circuit pack, right in line with its competitors. That's not a bad price. This is basically your last chance at owning a turbo, 6mt, awd with proper diffs, before everything inevitably goes electric.

    Unpopular opinion. Nothing is going electric at the pace people think. Will manufacturers keep aiming for more efficiency? Yes!

    I think we might be in for an era (2020-30) where manufacturers actually try to make fun cars.

    I don't think GR Corolla will exist if they don't have to build GR Yaris for WRC. Honda was only able to move ~50K CTRs so far. If Toyota can do the same next 5 years, it may at least recover some cost dumped into the GR Yaris project.

    I think this fun car is an exception, not the rule.

    I’d say they recovered the costs of the GR Yaris already as part of the rally1 budget. GR corolla is just printing money and great branding exercise.

    Toyota is planning on 8k production per year, 6k this year due to late start.

    No question required. This is a more desirable car than the golf R in every respect
    How do you figure that?

    Golf R has a reputation for being too precise for what it is ie less fun. This isn’t. Plus, it’a a brand new car from a manufacturer that has a reputation for reliability (albeit on the basis of boring cars).

    I'm wondering if this thing will end up as a great drivers car but a brutal daily driver and more of a boy racer car. One of the reasons the Golf R is favoured by many over the Evo, STI, and Focus RS.
    I like neat cars.

    Not sure if a tacking on a plastic flare to a door is what you want to see at the cost of the M3.

    Agree. They need to blend this in like Evo X rear door. It’s cheaper and no one understands cost like Toyota so we get plastic duct taped to rear door.

    Well it depends on use case. I’d bet this is way more fun as a toy, and probably marginally worse at being a DD than the golf. Plus, given the golf R value prop is being a good daily driver, they really kneecapped the new one it by giving it an awful user interface.

    And I know people here don’t give a shit about reliability for some reason, but I bet the Corolla is going to be much more reliable in the long term.

    The only reason to get a golf R over this is if a person can’t drive stick, imo.

    Subjective but I also the the R looks better.

    Amen!
    Ferrari is always an option for those who crave something unreliable. No interior lighting required as the Check Engine Light will always be on.

    Lol I was gonna say. In what world is this considered properly integrated? This is probably the worst part of the car, aside from maybe the triple exhaust.
