Of course I have no idea and have given you a thanks because I thought your reply was sound.

BUT, I am confident, so much so I am willing to be 10 cents (AUD ( can I do that? Use Australian dollar sign for cents?)) that the Yaris will be more dailyable* than an Elise.




*Is that a transitive verb?

Thanks for the "thanks", much appreciated.. I will one day return on the good will.. as for Toyota only making transitive verb cars is rather depressing. Who knows they may have suffered an intransitive verb or something..

BTW, when I was transitioning from one job to another, I gave up my company car and I transitive verbed by Exige.. it was for about 6months.. no issues.. it was quite nice driving something exotic to work..

GM is very good at killing off brands. I agree the later Saabs are untouchable crap, with the major exceptions of the ones that are WRX's in disguise. The earlier ones were awesome.

OK, so let's say you get the GR Corolla, or GR Yaris for you lucky European bastards. What mods would you intend to do with it?

I'd probably start with the TOM'S lip kit they make for the Corolla. Of course that's based if they don't change the front bumper too much. After that, probably a tune, drop in air filter, and a catback. I think that would be perfect for me. Springs, too, possibly.

Tune and anything else that may be required to make the tune work, wider rims, possibly a different exhaust if the OEM is too polite. Not too sure about the suspension... As for bodywork, I can't think of anything unless some carbon stuff make an appearance.

I would wait for the LS7 conversion kit to come out.

I love the concept but like you struggling with the asthetics.... And the Covid-19 has put the spanner in the works.. the uncertainty of what the "new" normal will bring over the coming weeks and months.

I have been toying with either white or black..I think black works with the shape...

Looks better in Black definitely, it kind of looks like a mini CHR

1. Looks better in Black definitely
2. It kind of looks like a mini CHR

Two phrases I never thought would be said together.

In general, I like it better than I thought I would.

The video is also very entertaining with subtitles and autotranslate turned on. I'm going to have to figure out how to work this into my next technical discussion with a user.

It is a hopped up econobox and looks exactly like one. All the aero, fancy wheels and massive grills in the world will not hide it's origin.

Sounds typical of a homologated rally car.

The background music is amazing too!
