I don't even understand the secrecy on the pricing. Is not like they are going to have a never ending supply like buying a regular Corolla. Every Car Enthusiast website agrees that even the base model will be hard to get. So why even bother holding out on the price. What I want to know is that for those who get it, if there will be a no-resell clause until a certain period is met, and that dealerships can be reported for ridiculous mark-ups. Ford is already considering skipping the dealerships for their F150 Lightning, whether that actually happens is another thing, but at least is in the cards. |

I think the traditional OEMs are going to have to do something. I'm seeing the same issue with the Cadillac Lyriq pre-orders. Some dealerships are selling for MSRP, and others are selling for as much as $20,000 over MSRP even though all the pre-orders were set at a specific price (with the normal caveat that the OEM doesn't control pricing).

PLUS when they say "It'll be very competitive!" That means, they have not finalized the number. |

It's pretty tough to imagine Toyota putting a no-sale restriction on a car, even something like this.
And as for punishing dealers, they've been allowed to hold too much power through their lobbying groups, so any real change attempted by auto manufacturers will just result in mostly losing lawsuits. |

If the base, no option Core starts at 40k, then I'm out. $40k was where I was expecting the Circuit to be at.

What’s weird is how the regular GR Corolla RZ in Japan is the Circuit Edition stateside and it’s not limited for them. |

If it was just a gussied up Corolla maybe. The XSE Apex is almost $30k and gets you some aero, special wheels and badges. Expecting a true GR car with a whole different drivetrain, body panels, suspension and interior to be $35k is a pipe dream.

/internet seriously though, check out the price of a brand new Civic Type R and a brand new Golf R. The base (core) GR Corolla will (at the very least) most likely cost the same as whichever one of those has the cheaper starting price. |

I am guessing that with the limited number planned it will be between those.

Anytime the manufacturer mentions the car being "competitively priced" it always never undercuts the cheapest alternative option. Plus when it comes to Toyota they always seem to be a few grand more than the cheapest alternative option. |

MSRP doesn’t matter. They’ll be fetching $50k at dealers all day when they finally come out.
Toyota themselves probably know that and that’s why they won’t say pricing just yet lol. Welllllllll WE are putting MSRP will start at ____ but we know the dealers are gonna charge WAY over that so don’t worry what the price is.
