I have been asked if a Celica several times. I have reached 11 enquires if it is a Supra. Of all those times only one person even had heard of the 86 the rest didn't have a clue such car existed.

It is common in Europe that when purchasing a BMW, you can select "Badge Delete" on your order form.

Yeah if that source lists the GR Super Sports as part of the Toyota GR plan, it makes me pretty dubious about its credibility.

GR's positioning here in France has been a little... imprecise for lack of a better word. I think they're at a stage where they're making a lot of plans and trying to see what sticks, the same is likely true about GR Spain, since they're all subsidiaries of Toyota Europe (which is based in Belgium).

For all we know this .ppt could have been prepared by an intern looking at auto blogs for sources.

The GR Yaris is here, and that's a fact. The GR Supra is too, but the GR Super Sport's fate is up in the air right now, as is WEC Hypercar. Just having the GR86 listed here doesn't really mean much.

Yep. This is for the actual Gazoo Racing division not models of cars with GR tacked on the front for marketing reasons.

The Gazoo Racing car rollout is. Not to be confused with a GR badged production car.
This use of GR as a badge is going to get confusing as hell.
