I actually prefer it looks-wise to either other car in this image. https://twitter.com/supcat/status/1509464042787655681?t=zEG5vPUUTIeS6hJH8KYScA&s=19

I freaking love it. The Yaris GR looks weird to me. I think this looks much better. I know Ill never have one, but shout out to Toyota for building the thing I wanted that Subaru refuses to make for me.

Once Toyota releases the manual supra, their whole GR line up is going to be loving killing it for the next 8 years or whatever is left of ICE cars.

BrownieVK posted:Super convenient timing I was literally just looking into one of these to replace my Manual Crosstrek (extremely boring) The Kona N has roof racks, can hold some cargo and it looks like there are plenty of hitches that should fit for bike rack and a very small utility trailer. I'm not sure I never did end up talking pricing with the sales rep as I was mostly curious to test drive it and was sort of shopping around a bit. A note though, there is both the Kona N Line, and Kona N (which I mentioned earlier) and mighty confusing. I'm not sure either is available with a tow hitch but you could definitely put a roof rack on both as they have the attachment rails. The N LINE comes in a bunch of fun colors for 2022, and then N itself is the more racing-oriented one and is anything but dull.

Who knows if its legit but he's been correct in the past about stuff. I managed to get in with another dealer. Put a $1k deposit down that is refundable if they don't get it in 8 weeks after allocation. I also got it in writing that they will sell it at MSRP which is good. I'm number 3 in line so hopefully it works out.

I'm not sure either is available with a tow hitch but you could definitely put a roof rack on both as they have the attachment rails. The Kona N I test drove was marked up to 40k from 35k. It's a nice car, but not 40k nice. It also says it has 280hp, which may be true, but it wasn't any faster than my GTI, but it certainly sounded faster. In all ways it was more raw than the GTI, and I actually think in some ways it looks nicer, but marking up a car like that is ridiculous. If it were AWD, it would be a great car, but fwd makes it good, and marking it up makes it a poor value. Edit: Oh yeah, it also had a lot more torque steer than my GTI.

Good luck dude, but don't get mad when they tell you there's going to be a massive adjustment, because there will be. Unfortunately dealers are like cops, they can lie about whatever they want to do what they're doing.

I don't see Toyota keeping it actually limited - maybe just the "Initiative Edition" or whatever. If they sell, they'll keep selling them.

They'll probably do what Honda does with the Type-R. Keep selling them but only make like 3500 units a year. Then again, Toyota built 500 LFAs for 1 year then never again, so who knows.

Sab669 posted:https://pressroom.toyota.com/the-wait-is-over-toyota-to-debut-its-newest-gr-sports-car/ Couple of pages back and this should be in the BMW thread but if you are buying an AWD F3X the m-sport package is basically just an appearance package. Even the adaptive dampers are available on the sport trims. Source: owned a sport package F30 because I wasn’t spending 3k for better wheels bumpers.

I have been waiting for this announcement ever since the GRY was announced, sold my Si last year and have been waiting patiently for word that the GR Corolla was actually going to happen. So I'm going to start calling all the local dealers tomorrow to see about getting on their lists but I am not hopeful living here in SoCal. It seems like the motor and AWD system are quite stout, Motive has been pushing the little Yaris for a while now (one of these videos was linked earlier), and it will probably be quite reliable in stock configuration for many years. I've been following their progression since they picked up their Yaris and I am so drat excited, but I feel these are going to be impossible to actually buy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PQgGjK9tSBY

Oh poo poo... "The Circuit Edition also comes better equipped as customers will find heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, and an eight-speaker JBL premium audio system." I wondered if the GR would be spartan or actually have some creature comforts. Good stuff.

We truly live in the worst timeline when the most desirable car in almost a decade comes out in the middle of a supply crisis. Where were you 2.5 years ago when i settled for a more “mature” Golf R?
