To add, I highly doubt the GR Yaris would take sales from any of those 3 because of practicality. A lot of people buy these things as their only car.

That doesn't mean Toyota feels it's worth their time.

For example are they selling the Yaris in any left-hand drive countries?

My point is it isn't worth their time and would do worse then the FRZ which was able to move >20k units/year in the first few 2-3 years.

Europe, car is on tng platform, left/right hand drive mostly already figured out.

There's a video of Fernando Alonso hopping in a LHD GR Yaris on this page.

I dont think they want to sell the Yaris here anymore because small cars sales have been declining...plus...small cars...dont do so well in America

(Canada's a bit different, we like our small cars, but we follow the US like stupid lemmings so we get what the US gets and dont get what the US dont get)

I was never an exceptional admirer of the GR Yaris. The following changes my perception of this car, but not sure if we'll ever see it in production.

So.... you can actually order this motor and the turbo assembly for roughly 8000 US?

Someone's Twin is about to get a heart transplant!
