Really? I couldn't tell from behind.

I love it. Exactly what I hoped someone would do to an AE86.

In before people start swapping these into AZ-1s and Cappuccinos...

So before it registered this is a Japanese (I assume) video my first thought was why is this car so angry and why are the two of them cursing at each other?

You mean the giant moon runes plastered all over the video was evidence enough?

I must admit if I was in the market for a new car right now, it’d be between this and a new twin I think. Initially my wife thought it was a stupid idea, “but it’s just a Yaris?”, I explained it’s a homologation rally car, but it fell on deaf ears.

But when we saw one in the wild for the first time a week or so ago, she said “what’s that?”. I said “It’s the Yaris I was telling you about”. She said “oh that’s cool!”. They definitely stand out and the turbo “whoosh” as it went past, very cool.

Wouldn't own any of them. Two are too ugly, one is too expensive.

I’d own a GR Yaris for sure, they do look better in person. Flared guards and the low roof line, it doesn’t look anything like a regular Yaris.

Plot twist: The one car he was referring as too expensive is the Toyota GR Yaris, because we'll now have to pay an exorbitant amount to import one here in the US now.

who cares what they look like when you are driving the crap out of them. GR Yaris is still the perfect car imo, and I'll always be mad Toyota didn't bring it to the USA.

Ugm, I do because the 95% of the time I'm not driving it like I stole it, I still have to look at it and live with the fact I'm driving it.

To be fair, there is nothing about a hot hatch ,except maybe the way it drives, I've ever liked, so excuse me while my bias shows...
