And if they ditch the AWD to save weight, you might as well get a CTR
Who knows what will happen with the corolla gr.

But its unlikely to be such a departure in its chassis from its original model like the YarisGR was.

But lets say they gave her the new YarisGR engine + built on the hybrid tech and gave her civic killing power. That would still be really cool.
