This is a video of the older GRMN Yaris (older chassis platform with a S/C) , but it looks to turn quite well. Lap time was better comparing to a GT 86 with the performance package.

GRMN Yaris (212 PS)
01'09.402

GT 86 performance package (207 PS)
01'10.649

There's a guy in my area who owns the original GRMN Yaris, white with the graphics. I never had the opportunity to chat with him..

It's the only one that I've seen on the road..

Given only 80 made it to the UK I'm not surprised.

You have to watch the Best Motoring/Hot Version touge videos to get it.

Here in Australia Toyota just released pricing for the normal 5 door Yaris. They must have been doing lines of the good stuff, because the starting price of the cheapest Yaris jumped about AU$6k to $25k driveaway. You can get a Corolla or Mazda 3 for that. Top Yaris hybrid is AU$35k driveaway... same price as an 86 or a Camry... nuts! Makes me think the GR Yaris is going to be insanely expensive.

Shame, because I was looking forward to seeing them on the road.

They increased the quality of base Yaris, so the price had to go up. It is not anymore a small cheap car.

Isn't an STI like $58k there? It will not be any cheaper then that, not sure why you thought it might be otherwise? Crazy low production volume chassis with a carbon fiber roof and special low production engine, this thing is going to be expensive everywhere.

Didn’t say it wan’t going to be expensive. The point is that that the entire Yaris range has become stupidly expensive. I can’t see them selling many GR Yaris’ at AU$58k... especially since Australia misses out on the full performance version with the mechanical LSDs etc. So yes, that is STI or CTR money... Or Stinger GT, 370Z Nismo etc... all bigger cars, more features, just as quick in the real world. Well, the CTR is likely still quicker. That will make the GR a tough sell.

They honestly look pretty great stock (the GR edition) in person! But I'm betting the aftermarket will make them even better.

I sadly missed the dealer showing.. I'm reading that deliveries have started or about to start in Japan so more detailed road reviews will be good to see..

You can now take a look at all the official upgrade parts that Toyota will produce for the GR Yaris. A video showing all the stuff is also available. Right now everything is in Japanese but at least translating the first site is no problem.

Prices are decent too. I know other manufactures who would ask a lot more for all of this.

There will also be an online event on September 16th in celebration of the GR Yaris launch.
