Since the back seat is useless anyway, is the engine behind the driver in the proper place?

Nope. Front engine AWD. They're only making about 600 of them though so it doesn't really matter too much.

Translation from the article:

quote:

Toyota has just released the high-performance compact hatchback "GR Yaris", but the hardcore model "GRMN Yaris", which is at its peak, has been confirmed to be on the market. The camera of the scoop site "Spyder7" captured the commercial prototype for the first time.

The GR MN Yaris prototype captured by the Nürburgring Schleife has a lower body than the GR Yaris. Including the carbon-like roof, you can see the radical exterior such as winglets on both sides of the front bumper, huge air outlets on the fenders, and a large rear spoiler.

Also, in the side view, you can see different wheels in the front and rear, and it seems that ABT alloy wheels are installed in the rear. Furthermore, the rear end is equipped with something that looks like a sensor, but it is probably a device that measures the torsional rigidity of the vehicle.

The base GR Yaris powertrain is equipped with a 1.6-liter in-line 3-cylinder turbocharged engine and delivers a maximum output of 272ps. On the other hand, GRMN Yaris boosts up the engine, and the maximum output is expected to be about 300ps, which will be combined with a 6-speed MT. The drive system will be four-wheel drive.

The GRMN Yaris will be released after 2021.

I just want to know if they'll sell me a 1.6l 3cyl that pumps out 268+ horsepower... :eyepop:

Looks like 2011 was peak suck but we're on the right track again! Down with the monochromatic oppression!

IIRC this is based on Polish data. But I'm now in Southern Spain and it feels like 90% of cars are white, which might be a practical thing TBF.

Yeah lovely neon green isn’t what people want. I did see a nice metallic hunter green Camaro yesterday in traffic that looked pretty nice. Wish we could get more jade or grass green shades.

Painting your crappy cars gently caress Ugly Green and then going, "See nobody buys green" is the same as relegating the manual transmission to the weaker engine option / trim packages and going, "see nobody wants a stick"

Well it’s better than getting an ugly car in a boring color I guess, but they need to muscle up and put nice green on nice cars.

Have any of you guys seen a Black Forest Green G70 in person? All the photos I can find it hardly looks green at all.


But yea gimme a green G70 with a brown interior as a wagon and I'd 100% happy. And maybe black out all the chrome. I hate chrome so much, you guys.

British racing green looks awful on anything designed after 1975, as do gold and burgundy.

A local wrap shop posted this recently too, I love it. I've been thinking about doing my FiST in a similar scheme and either gold or bronze wheels, but I'm having a really hard time justifying spending $3K in cosmetic mods on a car worth like $8K, particularly when I still have $25K in student debt :negative:

Goddamn goons are strange. When I was a kid everything was loving dark green. gently caress green on cars, it sucks.

Dark green like that Black Forest Green I mentioned on the Genesis is dumb, but that green Mini is hot, fight me.


I don't know what to tell you about bar graphs. If you look at the first column, 1990, nearly 20% of cars sold were black. 10% grey, maybe 7% silver and so on...

Yeah there was a weird early 90s phase where every explorer and lovely Taurus and escort was dark green but you can’t judge based on how lovely the underlying car was.

That Phytonic Blue they offer the M550 in looks pretty sweet. Aventurin Red also looks really nice, but I'm weird and feel like the body color needs to batch BMW's blue badge, and in this case the calipers too :(

Either way, nice car :) Can't wait until I'm not throwing $9K/yr out the window in student loans lol
