I'll survive playing with other fun cars, a hopped up Corolla just isn't high on my purchase list as much as I like the tnga platform.
You have things like airbag requirements and the like that adds weight. And this also circles back to when I said that the US is not a car market, which is why I think a GR Corolla won't be "cheap" as everyone is hoping it will be.
