It's the flared guards and low roof line I like the least about it.

Fair enough, beauty is in the eye of the beholder as they say. I like the pumped up WRC look. The GR Yaris kind of reminds me of the early WRXs (GC8), looks different to that obviously. But light weight, lower wider stance and built more for performance than luxury etc. the later WRXs have lost a bit of that. Gotten larger, heavier and added more items you don’t need (CVT and eyesight).

Yah, price is a problem for us regular folk. In a perfect world I'd have every car for each occasion.

I had the first generation A-class which had the revolutionary for its time sandwich concept. Rear passenger knee space was on par with the S-class of the time. Then they switched for cost cutting purposes to the current A-class platform (AMG A45 S) which is nothing more than a premium GTI. Nothing impressive on my side about these 3 cars (Fiesta ST, AMG A45, GR Yaris). Yaris will just get the hot-hatch trophies as the newest in the category and having massive amounts of promotion.

And tell me how many 2 door all wheel drive cars even exist any more? Extremely rare is an understatement. I'd buy a GR Yaris just for that if I could. |

I think the problem is 2dr AWD isn't really priced for the average consumer. Does it really need to be 2dr? It's not like the GR Yaris is even good looking, it's like the Bugatti affect, desirable stats, ugly as sin.

Either way, I will never stop being angry that MB won't sell the C63 wagon in the US.
