Ugh I yearn for this car in the States. I'll even take a Corolla Hatchback with that front bumper, and same engine and drivetrain as the Yaris

Oh come on, don't you just love the old vintage rally look? How have you not seen that design so much that you are not immune to the looks? So many wheel companies put out something similar. |

The white wheels on an off-white car doesn't look good, and sometimes these style wheels don't match the car, but they don't look bad to me in context.

In a pure rally car functionality is more important than looks. In a road car ...

Well, it is subjective, and we don't know what the owner is doing on the weekend. Frankly, I think huge wings, riveted on wide-body fenders, giant splitters, canards, fake vents, racing decals, etc can look pretty stupid for a road car too. I also think some of the rally wheels above look good. This is true of turbofan wheels too. Some look good to me and some don't, but they also get a bashing from forum critics.

functionality should be more important to looks too. I'll take lightweight smaller wheels over ginormous boat anchors that everyone loves. Who cares what they look like, they will make everything the cars does better.

Not everything...I found the most functional wheels for you. Considering the majority of driving is not accelerating, these are the most functional...for fuel economy...large flat discs on large rims with low profile tires. Enjoy:

Lighter wheels are better for everything, accelerating, turning, stopping, etc. |

I think this is one of the first English First Look videos available
And this is also an interesting one since it includes a dyno run. It's in Japanese so I can't tell what he is saying exactly but the numbers are interesting since they could mean that Toyota was conservative with the claimed numbers. It has pretty much the horsepower that it's supposed to have but it has way more torque. He measured 419 Nm / 309 ft·lb. Last edited by Galerion; 10-21-2020 at 04:15 AM. |
