As long as they stick a real LSD in it I'd love to slide one around some day. And I bet that 3-pot sounds neat.
What made the Yaris interesting was the weight, 257hp @ 2800 lbs with AWD. There hasn't been a fun AWD car that light in 20 years since the first gen WRX.

That is exactly why the Yaris GR appealed to me soooooo much.
