I like this hot yaris because it's a revival of the 323GTX.
You want a sub-3000 lbs, 4-seat AWD turbo sub-compact hatch, I get it. I think it'd be a cool car too. But that's different from saying there's actually a market for that kind of car in the US. A lot of Americans seem to associate compact/sub-compact hatches with cheap cars. I don't think you'll find a lot of buyers willing to pay north of $30 grand for one.
