Nah, this car wasn't made for the track. It was made for this:

That makes me so hard

Sadly never gonna come to the NA market, it is gonna be too expensive and for low sales too. The car is too small, manual and not adapted to the US market.

They have BOS suspension too, love the brand on my Downhill bike but unless you go to France good luck for a service.

Perfect for Japan and Europe. Now I want to drive one in the alps. I miss my Megane RS and my R5 Alpine.

^ I thought the GR Corolla hatch is confirmed for North America market...

But you are right though, it will be too expensive and the sales will be low.... I can see this being a 1 to 2 model year thing....

^ it's even on their website.

MotorTrend: The Turbocharged, All-Wheel-Drive Toyota GR Corolla Is a Go!.

I would have much preferred the GR Yaris as it's a better representation of a WRC car compared to the GR Corolla

Go home Integra you're drunk :lawl: can't believe Toyota is doing this, seems like a better pick than the 86

Did I miss what year they’re thinking of releasing it? If it’s still 2-3 years away then I’m extremely tempted

I agree that the GR Yaris is better, but I also agree with what Toyota is doing. The Yaris is a hard sell in North America especially when they don't even offer a regular Yaris anymore.

Small cars no make money =(

^^ small cheap cars don't deprecate doe, just look at fit, Yaris prices, especially since gas probably will keep going up. I think smaller cars might come back in. Just look at all the small cross overs.

That's not good if you're trying to sell more new cars.

Big cars cost marginally more to produce, but look at the avg price of a SUV compared to a compact. Make it rain.

600lbs delta :fulloffuck:

wonder how much gr rolla will be here, 45k?

If the RS was 49, the sti/golfr was 45 and the CTR was 48, I’d say about 45 I’d a good guess. But once you factor in the chip shortage and the current market issues, I’m going to say 54,995 with the stupid Toyota 5.99% interest

Assuming my finances will still be good, if it’s released for under 50 I think I’ll put my name down on a wait list

Kinda cool haha:

Are you building up a fleet of all the turbo AWD hatchbacks?

Looks pretty promising. I'll be bitter it's not a GR Yaris when I'm driving it but Toyota can still take my money. They would have to fuck up pretty bad for me to take my $50k hot hatch piggy bank elsewhere.

I can only dream about small cars coming back...
The GR Yaris is the only car I may even be tempted to get rid of my Fiesta ST for.

I have similar thoughts on the GR Yaris, it's one of those cars where I would just say shut up and take my money.

With the GR Corolla, I don't have much expectations from it. Probably just a standard Corolla shell with swelled fenders and digging into the GR Yaris parts bin.

I hope the GR Corolla is nothing like what happened in Thailand on their Nurburgring Edition.

Their Nurburgring Edition kind of sounds like the Apex Corolla

Tries to be sporty but horribly executed.

mad respect to Toyota
