I'm sure between the carbon pieces, and the unique chassis, it drove up the cost. I'm sure they're going to stick with which ever TGNA platform the current Corolla is on now as base for the GR Corolla. Probably won't handle as well as the GR Yaris, but I wouldn't mind. haha. Preferably I would get the GR Yaris (I've owned 2 Yarii in the past already), but yeah, not happening here in the US.
I read somewhere the GR Yaris was half Yaris and half Corolla. But I could be wrong. As for the lack of carbon fiber on a GR Corolla, I don't really care. It's not like the difference between aluminum panels and CF will make a difference for my daily commuting and occasional backroad cruise. I just want it to feel good driving and have the features without Toyota fucking us over too much.
