Didn’t say it wan’t going to be expensive. The point is that that the entire Yaris range has become stupidly expensive. I can’t see them selling many GR Yaris’ at AU$58k... especially since Australia misses out on the full performance version with the mechanical LSDs etc. So yes, that is STI or CTR money... Or Stinger GT, 370Z Nismo etc... all bigger cars, more features, just as quick in the real world. Well, the CTR is likely still quicker. That will make the GR a tough sell.
